NBA and Tiffany & Co. unveil six reimagined trophies
NBA introduces a new line-up of six trophies featuring an evolution of the Larry O’Brien Trophy; designed in collaboration with artist Victor Solomon and Tiffany & Co., they honour NBA Legends and League Pioneers
The National Basketball Association (NBA) unveiled a line-up of reimagined trophies for the NBA postseason, including an evolution of the Larry O’Brien Trophy, awarded annually to the NBA champions. The six trophies, designed in collaboration with artist Victor Solomon and Tiffany & Co., are named after NBA legends who have helped shape the league and represent the standards of post-season excellence.
The NBA’s relationship with Tiffany & Co. spans 45 years, with the American luxury house having designed and manufactured the Larry O’Brien Trophy since 1977, the league’s conference championship trophies since 2001 and the Bill Russell Trophy (NBA Finals MVP) since 2005.
Tiffany’s legendary “Makers” – the skilled craftspeople at its hollowware workshop in Cumberland, Rhode Island – bring to life more than 65 trophies each year in addition to hundreds of other designs they also produce at the workshop. Solomon worked in tandem with Tiffany & Co. to evolve the NBA’s post-season hardware offerings, refreshing how the league’s champions will be honoured for the next 75 years and beyond.
