An award worth winning

The winners of the Brit Insurance Designs of the Year, presented last night, each received one of these rather handsome trophies designed by Anthony Burrill and Michael Marriott
The awards were made of laser-cut MDF with a cherry veneer, each featuring a relevant illustration by Burrill. They are backed with a coloured acrylic panel (in a different shade for each category) and set on a hand-cast brass base.
Here they are being put together last week in Marriott's studio
The pair also recently collaborated on The Right Kind Of Wrong, a show at ad agency Mother

Yes, sorry, the AB link is much better. Don't know why I used the Friendchip one before. Have amended it now
