Dangle Keys: an Irish street sign-inspired key holder

The project

A commission from Ireland called for a key holder based on the country’s street signs. At Archicercle, we made the piece in MDF and painted it by hand, translating that reference into an object for keeping keys organised.

The rectangular plaque combines blue and white, with the name of Baggot Street set across two lines alongside the number 2. Raised lettering and the layout of the text retain the character of the street sign that provided the reference.

Small key supports are integrated along the lower part of the plaque. The object brings together a decorative sign and a key holder, rather than separating the two functions into independent pieces.
