The real challenge was to create, at the heart of the trophy, a polyhedron that, once illuminated, would create the illusion of an infinite space.

The concept behind this trophy was to create a vertical structure composed of various three-dimensional elements inspired by the game.

The central form, evoking interlocking metal plates that reveal the letter X, refers to the French expression “croiser le fer” (“to cross swords”), symbolising confrontation and duelling.

Other elements from the game were also incorporated into the design, including the V from the VALORANT logo and the Radiant rank icon, representing the highest level a player can achieve.

By creating these elements in three dimensions, we were able to integrate LED strips and two-way mirrors within the structure. Once illuminated, these elements are brought to life, while the space inside the polyhedron appears to extend into infinity.

These lighting systems highlight key elements of the tournament’s visual identity while adding depth, dimension, and a sense of wonder to the trophy.
