Sarah Landau's design for the 2018 Fever Ray tour won the KOI-USA Award for Club, sponsored by MA Lighting International. KOI recently spoke with Sarah to find out where the sword has been living since the ceremony in October.
Sarah sent us this picture, telling us "Here is the moment the sword had on the mantle at my parents' house over the holidays. My brothers have since reported that not long after, it was rehoused in the crawlspace." An avid globetrotter with no permanent base, Sarah explained via email from the Canary Islands: "The sword was an honour to win, a thrill to get in the mail while I was briefly visiting my legal mailing address, and to take the requisite selfie for Facebook. However, as I travel for fun when I'm not travelling for work I am limited to a 23kg bag. Once in a while, I wish I had a shelf, but alas. I look forward to the day the stars align and I can use it for a Game of Thrones costume party. I'd find a short blonde wig and go as Brienne, naturally."
