The project
Grupo Portolito, a restaurant group based in Valencia, commissioned us to create bespoke bill holders. At Archicercle, we designed and manufactured the pieces, including the closure detail.
The bill holder has a rectangular format, with black as its predominant colour and a contrasting yellow emblem. Engraved text brings Portolito’s identity to the object.
To realise the design, we laser-cut the acrylic pieces and engraved the text using our galvanometer laser system. Cutting and engraving were separate operations in the manufacture of the bill holder.
We then gave the pieces their final shape by applying heat with an acrylic bending machine. This heat-bending process transformed the cut pieces into the form of the finished object.
At the front, we designed a closure intended to prevent the holder from opening unintentionally. Our contribution therefore covered the form of the bill holder, the development of this construction detail and the manufacture of the complete object.
