Wooden menus for Voltereta Manhattan

The project

For Voltereta Manhattan, we turned the client’s original proposal into wooden menus ready for manufacture. Archicercle’s contribution covered design reinterpretation, structural development, a breakdown into individual components, and manufacture through laser cutting and engraving, with a UV laser-engraved QR code.

The starting point was the client’s design. Our role was to reinterpret the proposal and develop the menus’ structure and component breakdown, translating its Art Deco inspiration into the parts required for manufacture. This was the technical development of an external design, rather than the creation of the original concept.

The wooden components were manufactured using laser cutting and engraving. Structural design and the component breakdown connected the proposed form with its manufacture, as part of the same production commission.

The QR code was engraved with a UV laser onto gold metallic two-layer ABS. This component completed the menus, combining wood with a gold finish in a piece conceived as part of the restaurant experience.
