Trophies
The handcrafted Brâncuși trophies are made from composite materials by ArcaSpace for the ArcaBoard World Championship
12 hand-crafted trophies
The ArcaBoard World Championship (ABWC) launches a unique series of 12 trophy concepts crafted from aerospace-grade performance composites, inspired by the masterpieces of Constantin Brâncuși.
Each race will be represented by a unique sculptural model, maintained at the same monumental size across the entire podium, but distinguished by specialized finishes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places, as well as for the winning team of the event.
This initiative replaces the common practice of off-the-shelf plastic or aluminum trophies used in traditional competitions, awarding pilots distinctions of genuine artistic and engineering value.
ArcaSpace announces a radical approach for the podium ceremonies of the ArcaBoard World Championship (ABWC), the premier global competition dedicated to levitation racing craft. In a decisive break from classic motorsport conventions, the winners of the 12 championship rounds will receive trophies engineered as works of industrial art, manufactured from advanced composite materials and modeled after the iconic sculptures of Constantin Brâncuși.
The Quality Manifesto: Sculptural Art vs. Mass-Produced Trophies
In traditional motorsport, the symbolic prestige of the podium has gradually eroded. From regional events utilizing inexpensive stock cups ordered from commercial catalogs, to major international circuits where trophies have often devolved into plastic or cast-aluminum promotional objects branded with sponsor logos, the awarded distinction has lost its connection to the athlete's epic effort.
Contrast between the conventional and the visionary
In traditional motorsport, off-the-shelf stock cups diminish the dignity of the podium. ABWC restores the significance of victory through unique trophies inspired by Brâncuși’s body of work.
ABWC reinstates rigor and prestige on the podium through an unprecedented visual and structural execution:
• Aerospace-Grade Materials: Every trophy is built using advanced composites, the exact same materials utilized in constructing the ArcaBoard 2 craft.
• Timeless Cultural Value: Instead of standardized shelf cups, pilots will raise sculptural works carrying the weight of universal artistic avant-garde over their heads.
• Hierarchical Finishing System: Each of the 12 championship events is defined by a single Brâncuși-inspired sculptural design, crafted at an identical scale for all three podium finishers and the winning team. Differentiation for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places is achieved exclusively through the surface finish of the composite (ranging from mirror-polished gold to silver, bronze, satin titanium, and matte graphite), keeping the artistic proportions of the work completely intact.
• Engineering Authenticity: The trophies are manufactured entirely by hand at ArcaSpace facilities, reflecting the exact technical precision and craftsmanship applied in building flight hardware.
A New Standard for 21st Century Motorsport
By fusing the Brâncuși sculptural heritage with the avant-garde technology of levitation craft, ArcaSpace demonstrates that the future of motorsport extends beyond a technical race into a complete cultural experience. Pilots competing in the Squadron N10 will not receive standard commercial awards, but authentic collector's items that merge the physics of flight with the timeless purity of form.
