Plywood signs for wedding seats

The project

A couple commissioned Archicercle to make pieces for the guests’ seats at their wedding. The result was a set of plywood signs carrying a heartfelt message, with holes at the top for hanging.

Our contribution was the manufacture of the pieces using laser cutting and engraving. The circular outline frames the lettering, which combines the names ‘Mari & Pascu’ with the Spanish message ‘Los próximos… VOSOTROS’ (‘You’re next’). The personalisation is worked directly into the plywood, becoming part of the object itself.

The holes at the top allow cord to be threaded through so the signs can be hung from the seats. This detail connects the shape of each piece to its intended use: a hanging message addressed to guests at the celebration.

The light tone of the plywood and the contrasting inscriptions define the appearance of the signs. The layout uses different sizes for the names and message, with ‘VOSOTROS’ emphasised in capitals.
