Tempe Trophy and Kornegay Design
Tempe Trophy recently had the honor of collaborating on the creation of a very unique award designed by Larry Kornegay for the Landscape Architecture Foundation Founders Award (2016). The award is given to organizations who show diligence in sustainable landscaping.
This year’s design resembles a seed still encased in its pod. Larry Kornegay says “The seed and pod approach to this award expresses the need for constant vigilance and nurturing of the environment around us.”
Solid Bronze Seed
Kornegay Design brought to us a solid piece of bronze that had been custom-cast and patinated, and asked us to use our Sand Carving technique to deeply etch the stone as they had envisioned. The solid piece of bronze we were served was quite heavy – we’re talking roughly ten pounds. And, once our part of the process was complete, the carved stone encasement (pod) was added.
Hopefully the American Society of Landscape Architects, the winner of this year’s prestigious award, sent a strong individual up to the stage to accept the award! Mass aside, the end result was stately, elegant, and presented with pride at the LAF banquet this past spring.
Custom Projects
Whether we’re just another hand-in-the-pot to help put the final touches on an epic creation like this one, or we get the pleasure of seeing an idea through from vision board to full production, our number one goal is to make it perfect. Every time. We’ve built a business based on customer service for a reason – we want to make sure that the product our customer envisions is the product we help create.
