Hawkes Bay Wine Awards Trophy 2022
The Hawke’s Bay A&P Bayleys Wine Awards is New Zealand’s longest running regional competition and is proudly owned and event managed by the Hawke’s Bay A & P Society. I was tasked to design the grand winner trophy for 2022, which would then be lazer cut and presented to the winner at awards night.
The design I did is strictly conceptual as it didn’t make it to the final stages of production, however the idea behind it is strong and worth a spotlight of it’s own.
The finest drop of 2022
It all begins with an idea… or in this case with the finest grapes.
The trophy design symbolizes the finest droplet of wine for the year, the best grapes and the best winery.
The droplet formed in the middle with a bunch of grapes and spiralling outwards in a koru like fashion to create the droplet like shape. Very rounded with no harsh edges to echo the organic nature & beauty of simplicity.
