Martin’s medals and more

0martinruiz004.jpg

Designer and experimental artist Martin Ruiz de Azua’s new medal design, above, will soon hang from the necks of champions at Barcelona’s 2010 European Athletics Championships. The “minimalistic V-shaped medal…aims to reflect the simplicity, honesty and dynamism of athletics” and is just one in a long series of medals and trophies (some shown below) designed by Ruiz de Azua; our favorite is his transparent, bubble-filled circular design for the 2003 World Swimming Championships, below.

Readers may recognize Ruiz de Azua’s name from his rotomolded Flod stool from 2007/8. Click here to check out his medals, furniture and more.
