Packaging and merchandise for La Guirlande

The project

La Guirlande launched a crowdfunding campaign to produce a series of musical compositions on CD. To accompany the release, Archicercle undertook the structural design and manufacture of presentation pieces and merchandise, working with Iterare Arquitectos, who were responsible for the graphic design.

The commission brought together two related purposes: presenting the music and preparing gifts for the backers who had made the project possible. The work extended beyond the CD case to include several bespoke presentation pieces and merchandise items.

The collaboration divided graphic and structural responsibilities. Iterare Arquitectos developed the graphic design, while Archicercle handled the structure and manufacture of the elements. This distinction defines the studio’s contribution: producing the physical pieces without claiming authorship of their visual identity.

The packaging has a flat, rectangular format. Its exterior combines a grain-like surface, the La Guirlande name and a line illustration of a seated figure. The collection also includes an open case holding the CD, printed inserts and notebook-like items with a shared graphic treatment.

Illustrated covers, pages of sheet music, cards and a thank-you sheet listing names complete the presentation. These elements extend the content beyond the disc and acknowledge those who supported the release. The result brings together packaging, musical documentation and pieces intended for backers under a shared graphic identity.
