@place.ltd × @salomon × @knightclubchess needed a trophy for their chess tournament. Oh, and “you have less than a week.” No pressure... Started with a blank sketchbook and a brief that said: make something the winner never moves from their shelf. Not a plaque. Not a cup. An object. Something that holds the weight of three very different worlds ~ mountain terrain, third-space culture, and the quiet intensity of chess. Two concepts. One week. Sketch to 3D to physical object in someone’s hands on the night.RIDGE: The Knight emerging from a mountain range built on the body of a Pawn. Where you start. What you climb through. Who you become.WHISPER LOUDER: A Pawn-shaped speaker cone ~ round head, narrow neck, flared base. An opening at the top. A vessel that takes a whisper and makes the whole room feel it. Because the Pawn is the piece nobody worries about. Until it reaches the other side.They went with Whisper Louder. 3D printed. In red. Place × Salomon branding de-bossed from the body.Watching someone hold it on tournament day and actually feel it ~ that’s the thing. That’s why I do this.Every project starts the same way. A problem. A blank page. A decision to take it seriously. The sketch always looks rough. The idea always sounds bigger than you can deliver. The timeline is always tighter than it should be.You do it anyway.That’s the whole game.If you’re planning an event, a tournament, a moment ~ and you want the objects in the room to actually mean something, let’s talk. This is exactly the kind of work I want more of. by @farouk858
