The client was in search of a deal toy. They had restructured the hotel and wanted to celebrate. For the design, they envisioned a recreation of the hotel’s exterior within a limited budget. This program is one we call “balling on a budget.”
To honor the hotel’s front façade, we cut the piece’s base out of white marble. We then shaped the top of the award out of crystal. Respectful of their budget, we digitally printed a white marble pattern onto the crystal. This replicated the marble appeal without using the expensive stone itself. Finally, we etched the deal details and painted them in gold. Through and through, this was an elegant piece for an elegant brand.
