London Design Biennale Medals
Shimell and Madden
London, England
‘We felt the final design we put forward for the Biennale medals was exciting in its visual interactivity while eloquently incorporating the 2018 theme. The medals reflect our making practice of fusing traditional metalworking techniques with conceptual design. We hope the design provokes both thought and enjoyment, and also serves as a meaningful award for the winners’ achievements.’
Brass rod was shaped to create the elements of the brass stand.
The hand fabricated elements were soldered together.
The stand and the back of the medal were hand engraved and had soft satin finish applied. The face of the medal had a mirror- polished finish, before applying a baked anti-tarnish coating.
