The project
This metal medal sits beneath a set of blades that open through an internal mechanism, revealing it at the centre of the piece. Archicercle’s contribution was to carry out the preliminary trials and engrave the medal with a fibre laser.
Before carrying out the final engraving, we ran several trials, varying the laser’s power and speed. These tests allowed us to work with different settings before engraving the final medal.
The circular medal features a line drawing of a seated Buddha surrounded by clouds, with the inscription ‘IKIGAI - RAZÓN DE VIVIR’ around the edge. The engraving brings the illustration and lettering together on the metal surface revealed when the blades open.
