‘Reservado’ tabletop signs

The project

These small signs mark reserved tables with a composition of three elements: a base, a panel and individual letters. Archicercle cut the components, glued the letters by hand and assembled the finished signs.

The birch wood base was cut to size to receive the acrylic panel. Together, these two components form the sign’s support: a horizontal base and a panel carrying the word ‘RESERVADO’, Spanish for ‘Reserved’.

Both the acrylic panels and the MDF letters were laser-cut. Rather than being printed or engraved onto the panel, the wording consists of individually cut letters glued by hand to both sides. The message is therefore present on either side of the sign.

Final assembly brought the three materials together in the finished object. The light-coloured base contrasts with the darker lettering, while the applied letters give the composition a raised surface. The studio’s contribution combined cutting to size and laser cutting with manual gluing and assembly.
