I’m proud to present the seven awards for the Brussels Architecture Prize 2021. Each award is a unique modular sculpture consisting of 11 building blocks in a dedicated natural stone, presented in a hand-crafted box in black walnut.
The natural stone was sourced out of leftover material at the stone company Potier Stone. Each of the sets has been carefully cut to size and finished to the highest standard.
The dedicated boxes have been carefully handmade out of a single walnut beam and assembled using traditional finger joints. As a reference to the toy boxes that contain the original wooden toys, the award boxes can be opened through sliding tops. The boxes have been treated with boiled linseed oil for a natural and rich finish.
