The project
Patricia needed a bespoke enclosure to house the components of her MIDI box. At Archicercle, we fabricated the structure, combining a matt black acrylic body with plywood pieces for the sides and top.
The main structure was made from 3 mm matt black acrylic. We first laser-cut the pieces, then heat-bent the material to achieve the required curvature.
The sides and top were made from several plywood pieces bonded together. These pieces were then sanded and varnished, completing the wooden elements paired with the black acrylic body.
The enclosure includes an underside access panel that accommodates the main board. This allows the underside to be opened and closed to reach the interior, rather than leaving the structure permanently sealed.
Our contribution focused on fabricating and finishing the enclosure. Patricia would fit the components: the result of our work was the structure ready for that next stage, rather than a complete electronic device.
