Icon's Editor Christopher Turner writes about Anton Alvarez and the Thread Wrapping Machine for the October issue of the magazine. Alongside an indepth investigation into Alvarez's working practice, the feature also lauds Alvarez's selection as the designer of the annual Icon Awards trophies. In stark contrast to the monumental Thread Wrapping Machine architectural installation (commissioned by Gallery Libby Sellers for Design Miami/ Basel 2014), these unique hand-made trophies celebrate Alvarez's ability to work on all scales of production.
