Corendon Courage Awards 2025

A limited edition award object where sculptural design meets contemporary graphic art.

About this case

For the first edition of the Corendon Courage Awards, presented during Masters Expo 2025, Fabit designed and produced a series of collectible award objects celebrating courage and innovation.

Rather than creating a traditional trophy, the objective was to develop a premium object that felt closer to art than an award. The result is a sculptural piece combining pop-art inspired 3D design with graphic artwork by Lieuwe van Gogh, applied directly onto the geometry of the object.

Produced as a limited edition of five pieces, the award merges brand storytelling, artistic expression and high-end craftsmanship into a distinctive recognition object.

The challenge

The award needed to capture the premium atmosphere of the Corendon Courage Awards ceremony at Masters Expo.

The design had to express the Corendon brand without simply becoming a logo object. It needed to read clearly from a distance on stage while also feeling refined and premium when held by the recipient.

In addition, the award had to integrate artwork by Lieuwe van Gogh directly into the 3D form of the object. The graphic composition had to become part of the sculpture rather than appearing as a surface print.

Materials

The award combines multiple materials and finishing techniques to create a collectible object with strong visual contrast.

A premium black base anchors the piece and carries the custom winner plate. On top sits a glossy gold metal hand holding an abstract airplane sculpture.

The airplane was produced using high precision 3D printing and finished with a vibrant graphic collage artwork by Lieuwe van Gogh, carefully aligned with the geometry of the wings.

From concept to collectible award

The Corendon Courage Award was designed as a sculptural object that combines storytelling, brand identity and artistic expression.

Custom design exploration

The design process started with several creative directions exploring how “courage” could be translated into a sculptural object.

After multiple iterations, one final concept was selected and refined for visual impact, stability and consistency across the limited edition series.

From trophy to art object

The final design is built around contrast.

A black premium base anchors the piece, while a glossy gold hand holding an abstract airplane creates a bold sculptural gesture.

Graphic art integrated into form

The airplane wings became the canvas for Lieuwe van Gogh’s collage artwork.

The composition was aligned with the 3D geometry so the artwork and sculpture form one coherent object from every angle.
