Unique Properties: The Nagrada represents the transformation of a Pawn into a Queen, as a recognition of the player’s high skill in chess. The award consists of two flat figures - the Queen and the Pawn, which are inserted into each other due to narrow slots forming a single cup. This method allows to create different thematic cups and deliver them in a standard mail packaging.
Dimensions & Packaging: Height 280mm
Length 90mm
Width 90mm / 6mm (assembled / unassembled)
Weight 0.57 kg.
Tags: Cup, Award, Queen, Chess, Competitions, Steel, Stainless steel, Figure, Statue, Pawn, Online competition
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.
