Trophy Design for LCK
2019 Objects

The LCK (League of Legends Champions Korea) Trophy is designed with the concept of "Rise & Victory." It features a sculptural form with over 140 lines extending outward, symbolizing the effort, growth, and triumph of each player. The design draws inspiration from the LCK's emblematic "Star" and "Eagle." The top of the trophy is shaped to represent a star, while the sides are modeled to resemble eagle wings. The base of the trophy is engraved with the names of past championship teams, with space to add future winners. The intended meaning of victory conveyed by the trophy is not "victory as a result," but rather "victory as a process" through the efforts and growth of individual players. To express this, over 140 champions (characters) representing players are depicted as lines, which ascend and converge to form the trophy.To overcome the limitations of traditional manufacturing methods, the trophy was produced using Aluminum 3D Printing. This allowed for reduced weight and precise craftsmanship, highlighting the inherent characteristics of aluminum. Each line of the 3D-printed aluminum trophy was anodized and partially painted to apply varying levels of brightness and sheen. This creates a trophy that changes in appearance depending on the angle of light.
