The "Design Vision" Trophy – A Symbol of Excellence in the Making
Created specifically for the "Design Vision" event to honor Flavio Manzoni's presence in Cluj-Napoca, this trophy encapsulates the very essence of the design process.
The piece features an asymmetrical star shape, only partially polished, speaking to the path taken by anyone dedicated to their calling. The porous, unrefined part of the material echoes the primary energy of raw talent and the beginnings of any creative journey. In stark contrast, the smooth, well-defined facets represent hard work, vision, and continuous refinement. Just as the material is brought to life and shaped through the sculptor's intervention, we too continuously polish ourselves through knowledge, progressing toward our best versions. It is a symbol of transformation—from raw matter and initial idea to a masterpiece.
Concept/Ideation: George Mihnea
