Reclaimed Trophies

I was recently hired to design four trophies for the Better Housing Coalition here in Richmond, VA. The organization, which builds housing in the city for people who usually can't afford it, is having their first annual Leadership Awards ceremony in an old wood mill that is in the process of being transformed into a mixed-use community. In the spirit of the transformation I was invited to scavenge materials that were left over from the previous owners to create the trophies. They are entirely made from the reclaimed materials and finished with water-based stains and coatings. Titles and descriptions of each award were used as inspiration for the designs...
