Club del Presidente: Premios de Reconocimiento Corporativo del Año Fiscal 2025

260 individually crafted awards, delivered to a five-star hotel in Portugal.

Sobre este caso

For a prestigious international corporate incentive programme, Fabit designed and produced 260 premium recognition awards celebrating the top performers of the year.

The event brought together the company’s elite achievers for an exclusive retreat across Portugal, from the historic streets of Lisbon to the sun-drenched coast of the Algarve. Each award was personally delivered to the recipient’s hotel room, making the moment of recognition as personal and memorable as the trip itself.

Rather than producing a generic corporate trophy, the brief called for an object that carried the spirit of Portugal within it. The result is a refined award inspired by the iconic Portuguese tile azulejo: the hand-painted ceramic tile that has defined Portuguese architecture and craft for centuries.

El reto

260 awards had to be produced, each individually personalised with the recipient’s name and packaged in its own custom box. Every step of the process—lacquering, engraving, assembling, packaging, and more—had to be executed 260 times by hand, all to the same exacting standard of quality.

At the same time, the award had to feel both premium and personal. This was not a bulk order destined for a shelf, but a piece presented in recognition of an exceptional year, delivered directly to each recipient’s room at a five-star hotel in Portugal.

Materiales

The design process started with the destination itself. Portugal is a country of craft: tiles, cork, ceramics, and gold filigree. The brief asked for something that felt rooted in that heritage while remaining corporate and refined.

Several directions were explored, including terrazzo, ceramic-look materials, and cork. The tile concept stood out for its balance of cultural resonance, material premium-ness, and engraving precision. A dark, stained wood version was selected for the final production run.

From Portuguese tile to personal award

The design process started with the destination itself. Portugal is a country of craft: tiles, cork, ceramics, gold filigree. The brief asked for something that felt rooted in that heritage while remaining corporate and refined.

Finding the concept

Several directions were explored, including terrazzo, ceramic-look materials and cork. The tile concept stood out for its balance of cultural resonance, material premium-ness and engraving precision. A dark, stained wood version was selected for the final production run.

Building the object

The award is a study in contrast: the warmth of lacquered dark wood against the cool precision of brushed gold brass. Two tile-shaped wooden panels sit above and below a central brass plate, mounted on a solid base. All edges are carefully rounded, no sharp transitions, no flat breaks. The result reads as a single coherent object.

260 times, by hand

Every award passed through the same sequence: cutting, rounding, lacquering, assembly, engraving, quality check, foam placement, boxing, sleeving. Multiplied by 260. All executed in-house at Fabit’s Antwerp atelier.
