The project
A cover, a maze and a marble: this was Milkman Disseny’s proposal for its Matimex editorial project. Archicercle helped bring it to life, developing and fabricating a cover with a specific challenge: cutting through a layered substrate without leaving laser marks on the finish.
The cover concept and editorial design are by Milkman Disseny. Our contribution focused on turning that idea into a manufactured piece: a circular maze integrated into the book cover, accompanied by a marble.
The substrate combined three bonded layers of cardboard, 300 g coated paper with CMYK offset printing, and a matt laminate. The cut had to pass through the full thickness while preserving the printed surface and its finish.
We fabricated the cover using laser cutting with specific techniques that allowed us to work through the substrate without leaving laser marks. The result translated Milkman Disseny’s proposed maze into the construction of the cover itself, adding depth and a cut-out path to the editorial piece.
Three bonded layers of cardboard give depth to the cover’s circular maze.
