The project
The collaboration with Llisa Longboards brought together two contributions: handcrafted decks made by Llisa, and their graphic customisation through laser engraving by Archicercle. The work introduced different illustrations and graphic elements to the surfaces of the longboard decks.
Archicercle’s work focused on the graphic customisation of the decks, rather than their manufacture. Laser engraving was used to transfer the designs onto the pieces made by Llisa Longboards.
The graphics combine the Llisa Longboards name and symbol with line illustrations. Documented motifs include a face positioned at the end of several decks, alongside the inscription ‘Jon Blud 1’. Dark lines sit against the light-coloured surfaces, leaving broad areas free of graphics.
The collaboration was announced in May 2015, with subsequent posts in May and June documenting customised decks. The collection includes full views of the pieces and details of the logo and illustrations: different applications of the same engraving technique.
The line-drawn face occupies the end of the deck, sharing its surface with the Llisa Longboards name.
The logo and circular symbol are part of the engraved customisation.
