BOOKRAVE acrylic figures for magnets

The project

Archicercle manufactured acrylic figures featuring BOOKRAVE graphics, intended to become magnets. The commission for a Madrid bookshop combined work on the pieces in the studio with a final step carried out by the client, who adds the magnets.

Manufacture began with laser cutting the acrylic to create the outlines. The pieces were then engraved on another machine in the studio, in a separate operation from the cutting.

The finish consists of two layers of paint: one on the back and one on the front. This arrangement creates a sense of depth that brings out the graphic details. The figures combine transparent areas with blue and white elements and the word BOOKRAVE.

Archicercle’s contribution covered cutting, engraving and painting the figures. Adding the magnets is the client’s responsibility: the studio produced the pieces that form the basis of the finished object, rather than carrying out the complete assembly.
