Acrylic pieces for Porcelanas Lys

The project

Porcelanas Lys commissioned Archicercle to laser-cut a set of acrylic pieces featuring motifs from the Fallas tradition, for making moulds for its handcrafted porcelain work. Our contribution was the laser cutting of these pieces: supporting elements for a stage before ceramic production.

The commission connected a digital fabrication operation with a traditional craft process. Laser cutting was used to produce the profiles in acrylic, while mould-making was the intended use of the pieces by Porcelanas Lys.

The set includes silhouettes of figures in traditional Fallas dress alongside other decorative outlines. The pieces are transparent, with varied profiles, curves and scalloped edges that turn the motifs into separate physical elements.

Archicercle’s output was the acrylic pieces, rather than the moulds or finished porcelain objects. This distinction defines the scope of the commission: making bespoke elements for another workshop to incorporate into its own practice.
