Valencia map in MDF

The project

Claude commissioned us to make a decorative map of Valencia. At Archicercle, we produced the piece using laser cutting, with a plain backing layer in the same material to create shadows beneath the street layout.

The map has a square format, with a cut-out street network and the name ‘VALENCIA’ incorporated into one corner. Lines and openings translate the city's layout into a decorative object.

The construction combines a cut-out front layer with a continuous MDF backing. This layering makes shadows part of how the map is read: the layout is defined not only by the cuts, but also by its relationship with the surface behind it.
