The refraction of light and the interplay with shadow create a fascinating spectacle of intersecting lines. Employees of the Czech crystal manufacturer Lasvit bring ŠKODA AUTO’s designs to life and sculpt true works of art. The trophies, which are 60 centimetres high and weigh four kilograms, are made of clear green glass and reference the current design language of ŠKODA models with their signature crystalline shapes. Our design addresses issues that are of great importance to society and that we also devote a great deal of attention to in our design.” They give the trophy a distinctly natural, almost feminine character. This year, we have taken shapes from nature: The motifs are reminiscent of blades of grass or flowers growing up the trophy. Peter Olah, Head of Interior Design ŠKODA AUTO explains: “The trophies have become a real hallmark of the Tour de France. On 18 July, the participants of the 108th Tour de France will reach the finish line on the Champs-Élysées in Paris where the winners of the individual classifications of the world-famous cycling classic will receive their trophies.
