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

The south London artist is celebrated for his collaborations with a long and rapidly growing list of brands including Adidas, Dior, Apple and Burberry.

He now follows the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Anish Kapoor in designing the winners’ trophy for the annual awards show.

On what it meant to be asked to design the 2025 trophy, Gabriel said: ‘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.

‘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.’

Of the trophy itself, he explained: ‘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 pH๏τographs 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.’

Gabriel continued: ‘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.’

On Thursday the BRITs confirmed the list of 16 categories for this year which includes Artist of the Year, Group of the Year, BRITs Rising Star, Best New Artist, Song of the Year with Mastercard, and Mastercard Album of the Year.
