Next season (2010/11), the most desirable trophy in competitive freestyle snowboarding will take on a distinctive new look. In an effort to build upon the current Swatch TTR World Snowboard Champion trophy design, the acclaimed Hong Kong/Hamburg based toy artist Mark Landwehr has been working on a very special TTR character that will become the victory icon of the future of the Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour.

The resin statue is 36 cm (14,4") high, weighs 4,5 kg (10,5 pounds) and it's dashing looks make Oscar look downright plain.

To celebrate the new trophy, there will be an exciting interactive campaign plus a special event. More information will be announced shortly on how YOU can be part of this brand-new trophy concept.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
German artist Mark Landwehr started a distinct style of sculpting that looked almost as if he had chiselled and exposed the figures from three dimensional rock. In 2003, these statues became known as coarse.

The streamlined sculptures are hand crafted and finished at the coarse workshops in Hamburg and Hong Kong. The artist focusses on statues that range from small to life size, made from resin or fibreglass. The work also includes photography, prints and objects, combining all aspects to create holistic pieces of art. Pieces that convey an alternate reality. A fiction brand.

As a result of having lived in two separate cultures, Mark Landwehr blends Eastern and Western aesthetics. A possible explanation for the brand's popularity worldwide. coarse figures are currently available in art toy stores and galleries across 18 countries worldwide. In 2010, coarse will showcase their latest works in Tokyo, Paris and Chicago.
