Trophy

It is a work by designer Axel P that depicts the silhouette of an African model winged by an olive branch to symbolize the victory of the discriminated over prejudice, reminding, through the fingerprint engraved on the body, the irrepressible right to one's own identity. The trophy has been designed and is made entirely in Italy according to the principles of eco-design and sustainable development.
