Directional signs for Viccarbe

The project

We manufactured a set of bespoke signs for the team at Viccarbe. Archicercle’s contribution combined laser engraving of the acrylic with hand painting and protection of the areas already painted.

The signs were made from solid acrylic, 10 mm thick. The set includes directions for deliveries, parcels and reception, alongside a notice asking for an area to be kept clear of goods and packages. The rectangular formats incorporate lettering, arrows and a prohibition symbol.

Each sign was laser-engraved and painted by hand, with colour applied in layers. At each stage, we protected the areas already painted: a specific part of the finishing process that kept the colours separate and the outlines clearly defined.

The finished set combines black lettering and a red pictogram across the different signs, with crisp lines and consistent colours. The studio’s work focused on manufacturing and finishing the signs through a combination of engraving and hand painting.

Previously painted areas were protected as each new layer of colour was applied.
