We have produced a number of awards for Forbes in the past. Working together has been inspiring for us and we feel that the awards we have produced speak for themselves as a result. We believe in the process, in the need to take every design step carefully and, most importantly, in our ability to deliver a high quality service and to produce the items we have been commissioned to produce – in this case, awards.
We are very inspired by the positive feedback we receive on a well-done award.
“In 2023 we worked with the team on all our gala events. We were in contact with Anita, who was very helpful, flexible and kind at all times. We received precise plans and then a wonderful final product, which was a great success with our award winners.”
Our awards at the Forbes Launch Gala
It’s always a pleasure when we are approached by a prominent player in a particular sector. In our first collaboration, we were able to design awards for a highly prestigious event. The design was based on the event’s image and the venue’s specificity, the stucco of the ballroom at Haris Park. The result is a clear acrylic sheet with black foil on the back and gold lettering and framing on the front. This time the concrete base is a simple plastic motif inspired by a building decoration.

Forbes Family Business Gala
The next event we created items for was a joint event between Forbes and K&H Bank, so it was a no-brainer to use the bank’s branding elements as a base. The end result is a light grey concrete brick body for the base, with an acrylic plate on the inside, which stands out in the top left corner.

The logo was applied on a satin effect acrylic plate with the same blue edge painting, which nicely framing this part. The two arrow shapes often appear in the visual appearance of the brand, they appear in negative on the awards, you can see through this part. The result is elegant and unique-looking awards that also fit perfectly into the world of the customer.

Forbes Hungarian 100 gala
Two different themes were awarded at the same event, so the design was based on the idea that the objects should be presented in one style, reflecting one thought process and as part of one collection.

The awards were created in collaboration with Csilla Zsély – Fatipli workshop, using different types of acrylic sheets combined with wooden elements. For the asymmetric shapes of the Diamond Awards, we used silver and smoked glass acrylic, on which the graphics appear in white with lighter shades of wood. For the Bridge Budapest awards, the lighter, opalescent effect acrylic is used up front, with black graphics, framed by a sheet of smoked glass acrylic behind. Both have rounded corners and dark stained symmetrical wooden elements as pedestals.
All three projects have been exciting and inspiring design exercises and it has been a particularly good experience to think alongside the Forbes team, who were satisfied with our work:
“We are very happy to recommend the products, and we did, as the range is limitless. Anita is all open to all ideas and the execution is always perfect. She meets all the customer’s needs.”
Thank you for the positive feedback and we hope we will have the opportunity to work together in the future!
