With four days to go until the Dezeen Awards ceremony, Dutch design studio Atelier NL have completed the hand-made trophies that will be handed to winners on the night.

The clay trophies will be given to all 33 winners at an an exclusive award ceremony hosted by British comedian Sir Lenny Henry in London on Tuesday 27 November.
Each trophy was moulded by hand by craftspeople at brick manufacturer Wienerberger, which makes traditional London stock bricks at its Smeed Dean factory near Sittingbourne in Kent.
The trophies are made from London clay, the material used to make the traditional yellow bricks that are a defining characteristic of buildings across the UK capital.
Dutch design studio designed the Dezeen Awards trophy using London clay"Since Dezeen is founded and located in London it was a very obvious choice to work with London clay," said Nadine Sterk of Atelier NL. "London clay is emblematic of the city as it is not only the ground the city was built upon but also the material its buildings are made of."
The trophies are based on the shape of a brick but customised to form the letter "d" for Dezeen. Each one features a traditional indentation in the top surface that is called a "frog". This is in reference to the frog-like form placed in the brick mould to achieve the indent.
Once moulded and stamped with the Dezeen Awards logo, the trophies were dried for 50 hours before being fired in a kiln at 1,025 degrees Celsius.
