Here are a few images of the Award designed in collaboration with Christine Santanastaso (21, Jewelry Designer) and David Irwin (22, Architect and Furniture Designer)
The focus of the design was to create an award symbolic of New York City Street Skating, as well as to establish a clear hierarchy between the three awards to be given, Grommet, Amateur, and Professional. The design process started with abstract planar and volumetric three dimensional sketches, and eventually went in a more literal direction.
The three cement and white brass awards celebrate the street skating culture and the materials that are a crucial part of it. The bottles of water and juice reference the fuel and hydration for the athletes, that can usually be found empty on the city streets at the end of a session.
Video parts 1 and 2 brought to you by none other than Dave Toro, owner and creative mind of One Day NY!
