A truly unique and vibrant football designed for Alive and Kicking by the amazing Margaux Carpentier.

Margaux creates pictures using a symbolic language, so each piece can be read by all, in many different ways. Her work is inspired by the infinite combinations of colours offered by the world; her images transcribe the choreography of living things. She works on varied projects, from large murals, installations and paintings to detailed book illustrations, and even toys!

We’re deeply grateful that Margaux has provided her skills to AK in order to create this magical football.
