For the 14th year in a row, the glass trophies for the winners of the Tour de France were made by Czech company Lasvit. Though the shape remains unchanged since 2011, each edition brings fresh innovations—this year with a new emerald green glass and a crystal ring embedded into the design. Designed by Slovak-born Peter Olah, the trophies are produced in the Ajeto glassworks in Lindava and reflect a fusion of tradition and cutting-edge craftsmanship.
The collaboration between Lasvit and the Tour de France began in 2011 thanks to a personal connection between Peter Olah and the Czech company based in Nový Bor.
