Wooden wedding invitations for Alba and Javier

The project

Alba and Javier commissioned Archicercle to make their personalised wedding invitations. The set brings together wooden pieces featuring the date, the couple’s names and short messages, with typography as a common thread.

One piece takes the form of a straight-edged plaque bearing the words ‘Take this’ and the inscription ‘04/11/2017’. Its continuous surface contrasts with the open forms of the accompanying typographic pieces.

The message ‘It's dangerous to go alone!’ appears as a composition of shaped letters alongside a heart bearing Alba and Javier’s names. Another piece brings their names together in cursive lettering: the text is not only placed on a surface, but also defines the outline of the object.

The initials A and J form another composition, with the two letters intertwined and the inscription ‘04 de Noviembre del 2017’ at the bottom of the A. These different ways of incorporating names, a date and messages give the commission its personalised character. Archicercle’s role was to make the pieces.
