The BRIT Awards 2019 statues are being designed by Sir David Adjaye.
The prestigious annual event – sponsored by Mastercard – will take place on February 20 at the O2 Arena in London, and the influential architect has been chosen to craft this year’s trophies.
He said: "I am so delighted and honoured to be appointed.
"The BRITs are an iconic, eponymous celebration of British creativity and a true testimony to the wealth of talent working and supporting, making and producing and creating music both in this country and globally – it is an absolute pleasure to be given the opportunity to participate in honouring fellow creatives in this way."
BRITs Chairman and Chairman and CEO of Sony Music UK and Ireland Jason Iley has praised Sir David’s "artistic vision" throughout a career that has seen him knighted in 2017 and named one of the 100 most influential people by TIME Magazine in the same year.
He added: "Sir David Adjaye has been responsible for some of the most striking and innovative architectural designs in the world.
"This creative and artistic vision is executed perfectly with the new BRIT award bringing yet another level of excellence and quality to the statue design."
The 52-year-old has worked with musicians, filmmakers, artists and fashion designers throughout his career, and his current projects including the new Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre in London, the Ghana National Cathedral in Accra and his first skyscraper, 130 William in New York City.
He has teamed up with progressive Czech glassmaking and design company LASVIT for the 2019 BRITs statue.
His appointment sees him follow on from Sir Anish Kapoor and the late Dame Zaha Hadid, who designed the 2018 and 2017 trophies respectively.
