Graduation stoles for IDEAS UPV and UPV

The project

We made graduation stoles for @ideas_upv and @instaupv. Archicercle’s contribution focused on cutting the orange felt, marking the positions for the information and testing different engraving intensities on the material.

The stoles were laser-cut. During preparation, we adjusted the cutting power to avoid burning the felt and to achieve a well-defined edge. Although the commission was completed under time pressure, these tests remained part of the fabrication work.

We also marked the positions for the information on each stole. This step addressed the placement of the elements on the pieces; the documentation does not credit the studio with designing the lettering or graphic identity.

For the engraving, we tested different intensities. The aim was to make the information clearly legible without perforating or damaging the felt, while preserving its texture and colour. The work therefore combined cutting the pieces with marking positions and refining the engraving settings.
