The project
Oliver’s parents both work in aviation, providing the starting point for this decorative piece, made before his birth. Archicercle designed and made personalised lettering that brings this family connection into a composition of letters, clouds and a small aeroplane.
The name sits within a cloud-shaped outline, with an aeroplane above it. Raised letters and the small clouds accompanying the piece develop the aviation theme while keeping Oliver’s name at the centre of the composition. The pale tones of the cloud contrast with the red areas of the lettering.
The piece was made from solid wood, with the individual layers glued together. This layered construction gives the name volume, translating the graphic design into a three-dimensional object with distinct, overlapping planes.
Chalk paint was applied by hand and then sanded to create an aged effect. Archicercle’s contribution covered the lettering design, fabrication and hand finishing.
