Design Academy Students Awarded Unconventional Pig-Head Trophies Instead of Diplomas

Every year, the Design Academy in Eindhoven commissions a designer to create a special trophy for the graduating students. We didn’t want you to miss this year’s version, simply a 3-D printed pig head that comes apart in slices to become giant amulets, customized for each student and stating their degree.

Designed by Ted Noten, and fabricated by Freedom of Creation, the trophy celebrates the pig as a long-time Dutch icon, honoring the students in a beautiful, memorable, and slightly tongue-in-cheek way.
