QR plaque with a bespoke stand for Voltereta’s Market

The project

The commission for Voltereta’s Market involved making a tabletop sign linking to the restaurant’s digital catalogue via a QR code. Archicercle manufactured the plaques and bespoke stand, combining the material’s transparency with white lettering and a coloured area for the code.

The piece brings together the Voltereta’s Market name, a central QR code and the message “¡Disfruta de todos nuestros productos!” (“Enjoy all our products!”). The stand allows the plaque to sit on a surface as a tabletop sign, pairing the plaque with a transparent support.

The plaques were made from 5 mm clear acrylic using laser cutting and engraving. Text and details were engraved into the material, then filled with white paint within the recesses, adding contrast without covering the entire transparent surface.

The QR plaque received a specific treatment: painting on the reverse to create a solid background, engraving on the front and black paint-fill within the engraved areas. This combination distinguishes the code from its background and integrates it into the piece alongside the white lettering.

Archicercle’s contribution focused on fabrication and finishing: cutting, engraving, reverse-side painting, paint-filling the engravings and making the bespoke stand. The result is a physical sign that brings together the Voltereta’s Market identity and access to its digital catalogue.

White paint fills the engraved text and details; the QR code combines a reverse-painted background with black paint-fill in the front engraving.
