The project
The exhibition Diseñar el Aire traces the history of the Valencian hand fan from tradition to contemporary design. Within this context, Archicercle collaborated with Vicent Martínez on the selection of manufacturing processes involving laser cutting and hybrid technologies.
The exhibition brings together twenty design professionals from different parts of the world, who reinvent the hand fan through form, texture and technology. An object rooted in Valencian tradition becomes a meeting point for different approaches to contemporary design.
Our contribution focused on working alongside Vicent Martínez to select manufacturing processes. The collaboration considered laser cutting and hybrid technologies as ways to realise the proposal, placing process selection at the centre of the dialogue between design and manufacturing.
The wider exhibition features fans with radial arrangements, grid patterns and circular elements, alongside contrasts between light and dark tones and surfaces with an iridescent appearance. The pieces are displayed individually inside transparent spheres on white surfaces, providing a shared setting for different reinterpretations of the same object.
