Personalised engraving on a chessboard

The project

Manuel commissioned us to engrave a tattoo design onto a ready-made chessboard. Archicercle’s role was to personalise the existing object, adding an inscription as part of the gift.

The starting point was an existing design, rather than a new chessboard or illustration. Our work consisted of engraving it onto the melamine board chosen for the commission.

The composition combines the phrase ‘Siempre vas conmigo’ with two lines of coordinates, positioned centrally on the board’s plain face. The message occupies a separate surface from the playing face, with its light and brown squares.

The personalisation adds the symbolism of the supplied design to a ready-made object. The studio’s contribution lies in that specific intervention: transferring an existing motif to another surface through engraving.
