AO at the U.S. Open?! How we made the Mixed Madness Trophy! (2024)
Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas embracing our trophy! And of course, each other.
Whether you're a tennis aficionado, or a lover of sport- you’ll know that the U.S. Open has long "served" as one of the most incredible hosts of sportsmanship. The most prominent figures in tennis find themselves on the court, competing in high-stake, high-profile, and high-speed matches. In 2024, during the inaugural Mixed Madness Tournament (a doubles tournament, taking place in one night pairing some of tennis' most powerful players) AO Glass was tasked with creating a trophy for the winning duo.
Take a look at the production process below!
The team called upon traditional Scandinavian aesthetics, designing a trophy that incorporated a sense of motion— while using motifs relating to tennis and sportsmanship.
Stefanos’ idea of the “coolest date night ever”
We were honored to have the opportunity to create a piece for such a historic event, and organization. The trophy was a true testament to our ability to forge unique, handblown glass pieces in a short span of time- without forsaking quality or design. The team crushed this one: both on the court, and at 416 Pine street.
