Award Trophies: Designed to last
Joe Jackson, a London based designer working across product and furniture, was commissioned to create a series of leather pieces in collaboration with Bill Amberg Studio. His approach draws on traditional forming techniques, alongside a developed scoring method that allows the material to guide the final form.
The choice of leather is deliberate. We wanted the trophies to reflect the thinking behind the Changemaker Awards, not just mark the moment. As a by-product, leather already sits within a wider system, and when used well it is durable, repairable and long lasting. It gives the object a sense of permanence that a conventional trophy does not.
Each piece is made by hand. Each piece is completely unique, and that what makes them entirely appropriate.
