At Rivanna, our design inspiration comes from the quiet beauty and movement of the natural world. Leaves, with their graceful silhouettes and intricate lines, find their way into our award shapes and motifs. The rhythms of water—flowing, rising, receding—remind us that recognition, too, celebrates cycles of growth and renewal.
Our nature-inspired awards rely on thoughtful use of form, line, and texture to honor both the achievement and the materials themselves. Whether sculpted in wood or shaped in handblown glass, these designs reflect the simple truth that beauty endures in balance with the world around us.
Leaves, with their calm exteriors and complex inner lives, offer endless design inspiration. A single leaf can be beautifully rendered with a few brush strokes. We create leaf-shaped awards and sculpt tree plaques in wood, allowing the warmth, beauty, and natural luster of the medium to quietly emerge.
Nature’s lines don’t rush—they rise, bend, and unfold. By echoing these shapes, we aim to design with purpose, drawing on motion and harmony to reflect the spirit of achievement.
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.”
— Rachel Carson
