The project

The client wanted to build three-dimensional backlit letters and approached Archicercle for advice on the material. Our contribution was to recommend opal white acrylic and manufacture the letters for the client to incorporate into the assembly.

The material was selected with internal lighting in mind. Opal acrylic appears white when unlit; its response to light was the reason for recommending it for this commission.

We manufactured the letters by laser cutting. The studio’s work focused on these components rather than the construction of the complete sign: the client would use them to build the three-dimensional backlit lettering. This division of responsibilities defines the scope of the project, from initial advice through to component manufacture.
