Birch QR plaques for BAKAN

The project

BAKAN, a Mexican restaurant in Madrid, commissioned personalised plaques providing access to its online menu. At Archicercle, we carried out the cutting, engraving and finishing, bringing the restaurant’s name and digital menu access together in a wooden piece.

The plaques have a square shape with rounded corners. Starting with 9 mm birch wood, we cut and sanded the pieces, then engraved the restaurant’s name using a fibre laser.

The work also included covering the back. To add the restaurant’s QR code, we engraved its pattern into the surface and then painted it black to make it easier to scan.

The personalisation combines two distinct treatments: the BAKAN name engraved into the light-coloured wood and the black QR marking. The result is a physical means of accessing the online menu, incorporating the restaurant’s identity.
