Gabriel Moses has designed the 2025 BRIT Awards trophy

Gabriel Moses has been announced as the designer of the 2025 BRIT Awards trophy.

The artist, who has previously collaborated with Little Simz and Stormzy, joins a prestigious list of creators who have previously designed trophies for the ceremony.

"To be listed alongside some of the greatest artists, designers, architects, such as Vivienne Westwood, Zaha Hadid, Anish Kapoor, is truly an honour and something I will always be grateful and proud of," Moses says. "To now have both Slawn, and this year also myself, in the same group as people that informed our/mine visual approach, puts lots of things in perspective and it is an amazing achievement across the board."

Speaking about the trophy's design, Moses explains: "It all stems from my upbringing, my Nigerian heritage, sculptural works my mum would showcase all around our house.... We tried to blend history and presence, with the latter informing the colours and texture of the sculpture, as for me it was also key to bring my photographs into this. To do so, we focused on the textural aspect of it, which is reminiscent of light and backdrops I use."

"Texture is everything, in all my mediums really, so creating the tones that people can identify within my work and bringing that to sculpture was an exciting process. Throughout the whole research phase, it was exciting to explore materials that we'd like to delve into and shapes in which we'd be able to push the sculpture," he continues.

"That said, the features were the most important. With so many of the sculptures that I'd grown up seeing at home that my mum would have in the living room, I kind of wanted the features to almost sit similar to that. A lot of my work takes me back to my childhood and the things that I grew up seeing so, in trying to create something that sat differently to what had been done before, I wanted to explore the fabrics that made me. That's all I've ever tried to do with my work – just bring my memories and my culture into everything, whether that be South London or Nigerian heritage."

The 2025 BRIT Awards will take place at The O2 in London on 1st March 2025, broadcast on ITV.
