With four days to go until the Dezeen Awards ceremony, Dutch design studio Atelier NL have completed the hand-made trophies that will be handed to winners on the night. The clay trophies will be given to all 33 winners at an an exclusive award ceremony hosted by British comedian Sir Lenny Henry in London on Tuesday 27 November. Each trophy was moulded by hand by craftspeople at brick manufacturer Wienerberger, which makes traditional London stock bricks at its Smeed Dean factory near Sittingbourne in Kent.
