The project
Archicercle undertook the design, cutting and engraving of more than a thousand olive wood crosses for a convent of nuns. The project brought together the development of the individual piece and its batch production, with a substantial amount of manual work.
The studio’s contribution covered both the design and its manufacture. This was not simply a commission to engrave an existing object: it also included designing and cutting the crosses.
The pieces are small in format, with an inscription engraved on the front face. The repeated outline and the engraving give the series a consistent appearance, with olive wood used throughout.
Production totalled more than a thousand pieces. Alongside design, cutting and engraving, manual work played a significant part in making the series, as recorded in the project documentation.
