About Nagrada Le Prix
Cette conception est réalisée pour contribuer à la normalisation de la vie pendant l'auto-isolement et pour créer un prix spécial pour les gagnants des tournois en ligne. La conception du prix représente la transformation d'un pion en reine, en reconnaissance des progrès du joueur aux échecs. Le prix se compose de deux figures plates, la reine et le pion, qui sont insérées l'une dans l'autre en raison de fentes étroites formant une seule coupe. Le design du prix est durable grâce à l'acier inoxydable et est pratique pour le transport au gagnant par la poste.

- Production Technology
- The stainless steel is used in the award manufacturing. Waterjet cutting gives the cup its intended shape. Then manual grinding and polishing is applied. If necessary, engraving with text and image can be done. The Nagrada takes on its final appearance after electrochemical polishing and manual finishing of surfaces.
- Design Challenge
- For online tournaments, where players can be hundreds of thousands of kilometers apart, where there is no way to personally receive the award from the organizers of the event, it was necessary to create a decent award convenient for transportation and sending the winner by mail.
- Research
- To create an object that facilitates, motivates and supports the person’s desire for self-development, especially now in the conditions of lockdown and self-isolation, it was found that chess, as a sport and science, can be played both offline and online formats. The various competition awards were studied as a physical manifestation of the success.
- Inspiration
- It is nice not only to win the tournament, but also to receive the desired prize. We decided to contribute to the normalization of life during isolation, and to create a special award for the winners of online tournaments.
- Project Duration
- The project started in March 2020 and ended in May 2020 in Tolyatti
- Operation Flow
- The Nagrada is made of stainless steel, has significant weight, it is easily disassembled for ease of delivery worldwide. The surface of the award can be customized to fit the needed style. It can be fully or partially covered with colour, graphics and inscriptions.
