How We Do Client Sample Requests

Our approach ensures that every award we create meets the highest standards of luxury, artistry, and precision – without the need for prototypes or samples.

Modern Custom Award Design Process

At Society Awards, we create bespoke luxury custom awards with an uncompromised focus on design and craftmanship.  While some clients inquire about samples or prototypes, our meticulously refined process renders them unnecessary

A prototype, in the traditional sense, would be a rough 3D-printed model of plastic and wood – far from the refined, high-end award you expect.  Similarly, a “sample” would amount to nothing more than a small material swatch, such as a tiny red crystal square.  Just as a single spa tile cannot convey the full grandeur of a space, a mere material sample cannot capture the elegance of a completed award.

Can we produce just one award?  Absolutely.  However, clients should be aware that they would incur the full setup costs associated with production.  For instance, in the case of a cast award, the client would be responsible for tooling expenses, and any modifications – beyond the finish – would require additional tooling.  Moreover, producing a single award for review before full production would inevitably extend the timeline.

CGI Award Renderings

Rather than rough prototypes or limited samples, we provide high-quality CGI renderings that provide a precise and detailed preview of your award.  We are dedicated to creating exquisite, fully realized awards.  For those desiring a tangible reference, we offer the option to purchase an existing design of similar style.

Additionally, working with Society Awards is more like commissioning an artist than hiring a contract manufacturer – one who expertly mimics diverse design styles with precision and artistry.  While our renderings are highly accurate, we may make minor refinements to ensure structural integrity and production feasibility, always to the client’s benefit.

Our approach ensures that every award we create meets the highest standards of luxury, artistry, and precision – without the need for prototypes or samples.
