ABSTRACT
'Keep an Eye Foundation' rewards top design students with grants in The Netherlands and they were looking to redesign their trophy into something iconic. As a designer, I wanted to have a trophy that represents design, which isn't one way of thinking, but a rather a mix of creativity and analytical reasoning, like the poetry and science of a butterfly.
CONCEPT
Butterfly Trophy
Butterflies come in all shapes, colors and sizes, but their overall design stays constant. When abstracting their wings, a simple pattern of triangles appear - two equilateral and two right-angled. These four shapes were then combined in different ways to produce a variety of sketches that derived the final shape for the trophy. The materials used are 3D printed plastic for the front, wood for the back, and silicon-molded plastic for the center. Three materials that together represent the poetry and science of a butterfly.
