Case Study: DBA rethinks its awards trophy with Morrama

DBA cuts trophy costs by 80% with Morrama

The DBA, a design business association, engaged the design agency Morrama to create a new trophy for their awards. Their challenge was to develop a trophy that would physically represent the modern relationship between design and business, moving beyond a simple object to become a symbol of this partnership.

Morrama designed a trophy made of two distinct, plant-based halves that cannot stand alone, embodying the essential client-agency relationship. The solution was produced locally using 3D printing and a material derived from coffee waste. This lean, local manufacturing process reduced the trophy's cost by over 80% and lowered its carbon emissions, resulting in a sustainable and zero-waste product for the DBA.
