The brief for this project was to manufacture the award from materials that would be as eco friendly as possible. For the wooden parts of the award, we used a solid Maple wood from a supplier that is FSC certified. The 3D printed body of the award was made from PLA which is a fermented plant starch made up of corn, sugarcane and other plant based materials. The modern geometric form was inspired by the event’s branding and overall theme.
hockey canada - custom hall of fame awards
Over the next few weeks we will be sharing some of our favourite projects from 2016.
The project above was a commission from Hockey Canada. We were requested to design a hall of fame award for their new inductees. The idea behind the design was to use the shape of 4 hockey stick handles and create the award around that size. The four sticks can be seen through the maple leaf relief cut, designed as a "peekaboo" detail. The wood was then affixed in-between two water jet cut aluminum panels. A modern design that is simple and elegant.
The first recipient was Scott Niedermayer, he is a Canadian former ice hockey defenceman and current Special Assignment Coach of the Anaheim Ducks. He played 18 seasons and over 1,000 games in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the New Jersey Devils and Anaheim Ducks. Niedermayer is a four-time Stanley Cup champion and played in five NHL All-Star Games.

eco perpetual awards/trophies
We can customise all of our award designs to suit any event. The design above is our 'Classic' design but, we created it in three different sizes for the clients particular needs; perpetual award ceremonies. With the largest award measuring almost 4" square (101mm), we made the other awards proportionally smaller. This particular design was created from recovered Pine Beetle Wood (denim pine) for an eco event.
This is a great example of our flexibility and ability to fulfil any client request. Most standard trophy / award shops will buy product from a catalogue with set designs and sizes. We custom design and handcraft every award ourselves so, we have the capacity to create anything our clients desire.
When it comes to corporate recognition we are able to deliver the best products on the market. With original, modern and meaningful designs, our designers are able to create custom awards and trophies that make an impression and deliver on our clients specific communication goals.
