The trophy features a Canadian theme and materials to reflect the long history and importance of Rogers Cup in Canadian tennis, and celebrates the country’s 150th anniversary year. #LeSueur, Minnesota, Aug. 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For this week’s Rogers Cup, Canada’s top #tennistournament, world-renowned #Canadiandesign firm Yabu Pushelberg partnered with Cambia to create an iconic new trophy design for the event. The champions in both Toronto and Montreal will lift the new trophies following the finals on Sunday, August 13th. #YabuPushelberg, founded by Canadians #GlennPushelberg and #GeorgeYabu, is one of the most recognizable design firms in the world, with recent projects including the #CanadaOlympic House at the Rio 2016 #OlympicGames and the Four Seasons New York Downtown. “This is an exciting opportunity for our team to celebrate Canadian excellence and athleticism through design,” said George Yabu. “We want to capture the verve and history of the tournament through progressive use of materiality and sophisticated form.” Cambria, a Silver Sponsor of Rogers Cup in both Toronto and Montreal, will provide quartz materials and state-of-the-art fabrication for the new trophies, Working from a distinctly Canadian perspective, the resulting design for the Rogers Cup trophy by Yabu Pushelberg is bold and sophisticated; succinctly representing the verve, passion and foundation of the storied tournament. The faceted, punchy upward trajectory of the maple leaf, slightly tapered at its base, is expressive of the drive for excellence and precision of the sport it celebrates. Featuring both a #Canadiantheme and materials to reflect the long history and importance of #RogersCup in #Canadiantennis, the Trophy celebrates the country’s 150th anniversary year. A simple approach to materiality, made of subtly veined white #Cambriaquartz in their #EllaMatte design, with a pitched cast-metal cap in gold or silver, highlights the best qualities of the stone. The faceted profile is elegant, striking and is instantly recognizable – a #modernicon symbolic of victory for years to come. “The spirit of this great collaboration really fits within Cambria’s"
