Commissioned for Riverdale School, the Ngā Mātāpono Student Choice Award perfectly blends contemporary materials with traditional inspiration, resulting in a striking, modern taonga.
Key Features of this Taonga
The Feature Icon: A large, commanding koru shape precision-crafted from premium 20mm thick acrylic.
Vibrant Depth: The back of the acrylic is printed with a mesmerizing, abstract swirling pattern in rich teal and turquoise tones, creating a beautiful sense of movement and depth when viewed from the front.
Solid Foundation: The koru is securely mounted on a substantial, black-painted wooden trapezoid base, providing a sleek and stable anchor.
Premium Detailing: Features a black-coated aluminium plaque. The title Ngā Mātāpono is crisp and prominent, with Student Choice Award elegantly balanced directly underneath.
Bring Your Own Vision to Life
While this stunning piece was custom-made for Riverdale School, it serves as the perfect inspiration for your own organisation’s awards. We believe every achievement deserves a unique symbol of recognition.
Whether you want to replicate this aesthetic or create something entirely new, we are here to collaborate with you.
Customise Your Presentation Piece
We can adapt every element of this design to suit your brand, school, or event:
Alternative Engraving Methods: While this example features precise laser engraving on an aluminium plaque, we also offer classic diamond drag engraving for a traditional look, or robust router engraving for deeper, textured finishes on various materials.
Custom Shapes: Alter the acrylic silhouette to feature your own logo, a specific cultural motif, or a geometric design.
Let us help you honour ōu tāngata with a bespoke trophy they will hold with pride. Contact us today to share your vision and start designing your unique taonga.
