“The Ring was a challenge that we gladly accepted. In the end, we succeeded in bringing together the identities and design languages of both partners in this unique Ring design,” said Mercedes-Benz Head of Advanced Exterior Design Steffen Köhl. “We are looking forward to the moment when the winners are presented with the ring at the Trophy Ceremony. There is a real piece of Mercedes DNA in it.”
Summoner’s Rings were made at GOOD ART HLYWD, a Los Angeles jewellery studio founded by Josh Warner. Warner stated the following in an Interview:
“This was an opportunity to work with the crack team of designers responsible for the Gleneden Wagon, and at the same time make the hero piece acknowledging the champions of League of Legends,” said Warner. “I’m honoured we got the call up to work with such literal legends. And there’s nothing better than being pushed to new heights of quality and design.”
