Designed not merely as a trophy but as a sculptural object, the Necip Fazıl Awards Statuette reflects the layered world of Turkish literature and poetry. The cubic form is wrapped with three-dimensional typographic compositions of Necip Fazıl’s book titles. Each letter and word rises from the golden-toned surface like a relief, transforming the object into a textured landscape of meaning.

Produced with brass plating over a titanium body, the statuette conveys permanence and the weight of literature through its material language. Words that once belonged to the pages now take on a physical form, embodying permanence and symbolizing the cultural value of the award.

More than an award, the statuette stands as a collectible object that carries literary heritage through a contemporary design language.
