Gingerbread decorations for El Cacahuero

The project

A collection of gingerbread figures made to hang on a Christmas tree. For this commission from El Cacahuero, Archicercle handled both design and manufacture, from developing the individual pieces to assembling their details by hand.

The design combines the gingerbread silhouette with small, layered elements: a bow tie and a sign bearing the greeting ‘Bon Nadal’. Beige-toned bodies, smiling faces and red accessories define the collection.

The figures were laser-cut from MDF. The bow ties and signs were painted before laser cutting, adding colour to these components before they were cut out. The engraved greeting completes the sign carried by each figure.

Once the pieces were ready, they were assembled by hand. The result is a set of decorations sharing the same design, with each cut-out body and its added accessories forming the finished figure.
