Wooden jewellery for Fallas 2019

The project

A small keepsake of Valencia’s Fallas celebrations, made as wooden jewellery. For the 2019 festivities, Archicercle was commissioned to manufacture pieces featuring firecrackers, decorative hair combs and figures in traditional Fallas dress.

The pieces were designed by @espinter98. Archicercle’s contribution was to manufacture them in wood for a client: a commission to produce an external design, with creative authorship and production as distinct roles.

The collection brings together elements of the festival and traditional Fallas clothing in small formats. The outlines define the different motifs, while dark lines on the wooden surfaces add details to the costumes and decorative combs.

One variant is an oval piece with a drawing of a couple in traditional Fallas dress. Alongside the individual figures and other motifs, it forms part of a series intended as a keepsake of this time of year.
