Dimensional lettering for Koopera Store

The project

Koopera was updating the visual identity of its Valencia shops to present its project simply and transparently, with a fresh, contemporary approach. For the opening of its Rodríguez de Cepeda shop, Archicercle manufactured and installed the dimensional lettering that brings this identity to the counter.

Our contribution focused on turning the brand graphics into cut-out letters and graphic elements. The composition combines the Koopera Store name with other text and coloured shapes, mounted in relief on the counter front. White pieces and gradient-printed surfaces form part of the same arrangement.

The letters were made from 10 mm Forex PVC. Production began with direct four-colour printing on one face of the material, using UV inks cured by ultraviolet light. The colour was therefore applied to the substrate before the individual pieces were cut.

CNC machining then defined the outlines of the letters and graphic elements. Manufacturing took place at Archicercle, and the work concluded with installation of the signage on the shop counter. The thickness of the pieces creates the visible relief of the composition against a slatted front.

The edges reveal the thickness of the substrate, while the printed colour is concentrated on the front face.
