Our Process
From Concept to Creation—
Simplified
Our streamlined process transforms your recognition goals into award-winning sculptures through expert collaboration and transparent communication. At Bennett, complex craftsmanship meets effortless experience.
Step 1
Start With Your Vision
Your custom award journey begins wherever you are—whether you have detailed specifications, rough sketches, inspiration images, or simply a concept you can describe. There's no "wrong" way to start. Our team excels at translating ideas of any detail and fidelity into compelling award designs that capture your recognition goals.
What Happens:
Initial consultation to understand your vision, budget, and timeline
Discussion of award purpose, recipients, and presentation context
Exploration of måaterial options and design possibilities
Preliminary recommendations based on your goals
Step 2
Collaborative Design Development
Through an iterative feedback process, we refine your award design until it perfectly captures your vision. This collaborative approach ensures you remain in control while benefiting from our decades of design expertise. We present concepts, incorporate your feedback, and repeat until you're completely satisfied.
What Happens:
Initial design concepts presented for review
Structured feedback and revision cycles
Material samples and color options provided as needed
Technical specifications confirmed
Final design approval before production begins
Step 3
From Concept to Physical Form
Before full production, we create a a precision composition of your design, which could range from a flat schematic to an interactive 3D model, depending on the complexity of your design. For fabricated awards, this involves precision 3D modeling files. For cast sculptures, our artisans create physical sculpted models. This critical step ensures every detail meets your expectations before manufacturing begins.
What Happens:
Design composition (flat schematics or 3D digital files) created
Design composition presented for final approval
Any last refinements incorporated
Production specifications finalized
Timeline and delivery schedule confirmed
Step 4
Masterful Execution
Once your model or design composition is approved, our production team brings your award to life with meticulous attention to detail. From casting and fabrication through finishing and personalization, every step maintains our uncompromising quality standards. Your awards are carefully inspected, expertly packaged, and delivered ready to inspire.
What Happens:
Award production using approved specifications
Individual personalization (engraving, plaques, etc.)
Rigorous quality control inspection
Professional packaging with care materials
White-glove delivery or shipping coordination
Creative Authority Meets Technical Mastery
Where artistic vision transforms recognition into unforgettable experiences.
The Bennett Design Studio
Our design team is a blend of industrial designers, sculptors, and creative technologists who share a deep respect for craft and a love of exploration. Together, they translate abstract ideas, personal stories, and brand essence into sculptural forms that feel intentional, expressive, and art-driven.
Our Design Approach:
What makes the studio unique is the way artistry and engineering coexist. Designers think like artists but build like industrial engineers, balancing beauty with structure, manufacturability, and material integrity. They understand how aluminum machines, how glass refracts light, how acrylic casts shadows, and how a single curve or texture can change the entire emotional tone of a piece. Nothing is designed in isolation; every decision honors both the client’s story and the realities of production.
