House Collection
Since 2016, Design Awards’ original House Collection has set the global benchmark for contemporary trophy design. Pioneered in our Sydney and Melbourne workshops, these iconic forms have been imitated by many, but never matched for their material integrity, fine craftsmanship, and design-led thinking. As world leaders in trophy innovation, we’re proud to keep evolving the notion of rewarding.
Developed outside of our bespoke offering, the House Collection brings together a suite of pre-crafted awards that balance form, function, and sustainability. Made in small batches by our team of skilled makers, each piece reflects the same attention to detail, precision, and aesthetic rigour that defines our custom work — just with shorter lead times.
These are far from off-the-shelf trophies — they are refined, architecturally minded forms crafted from 100% salvaged Australian hardwood, with colour, size, and finish still in your hands. Take a look through the collection and get in touch to make it yours.

Handcrafted using only salvaged, sustainably sourced Australian timber, the Forma is one of our most environmentally conscious – not to mention most popular – awards. Formed in an elegant asymmetrical spear shape, the design is a sharp, contemporary adaptation of the traditional pyramid trophy. Finished with a natural wax, the Forma is designed to celebrate the individual characteristics of the timber. Complete with a matte black floating metal tab, each Forma is made to be proudly displayed by any kind of winner.
An inviting and tactile combination of salvaged, sustainable Australian timber and clear acrylic, the Split Cumulus is a striking and versatile award. Set in a classic split circle form, the design is a contemporary interpretation of the traditional silver plate. With all material hand carved by our expert artisan craftsmen, each detail has been lovingly considered in the construction – from the exposed timber grain to the polish of the acrylic.
A refined rectangular shape constructed from an inviting combination of materials, the Tower is one of our classic designs. Strikingly pared back with a gentle sensibility and a satisfying weight, the Tower is an understated centrepiece for any awards ceremony. Made from salvaged Australian hardwood hand-picked by our artisan craftsmen and individually whittled to match it’s metal counterpart, hours of attention and consideration goes into every single Tower.
