Custom plates for electronic devices

The project

Archicercle manufactured these plates for electronic devices, bringing together button openings and control labels in each piece. The commission combined cutting, engraving and painting to produce contrasting lettering against a black background.

Manufacture included cutting the plates and making the openings for the buttons. The pieces have rectangular outlines with rounded corners and circular openings arranged alongside the text and control markings.

The indicators were engraved into the black acrylic and include labels such as ‘rec’, ‘fps’ and ‘off’. They were then painted in white and red to aid legibility and contrast with the background, as recorded in the project documentation.

Archicercle’s contribution focused on producing the plates: manufacturing the pieces, cutting their openings, engraving the information and painting the indicators. The finished result combines openings and labelling in a single component.

The ‘REC’ label appears in red alongside white indicators and circular scale markings.
