The project
Archicercle made a series of acrylic accessories intended to hold folding fans when closed. The work combined cutting, protective paper masking and bending with a heat-bending machine, producing variants in different colours and finishes.
The studio’s contribution focused on making the pieces. After cutting, each piece was protected with paper before the heat needed for bending was applied. This preparation formed part of the documented production sequence.
The acrylic was shaped using a heat-bending machine with an adjusted temperature setting. The resulting curve turns the cut piece into an accessory that fits over the closed fan.
The collection includes light and dark variants, with green and amber tones and differing apparent levels of transparency. These variations share the same function: holding the fan with a small piece of bent acrylic.
