The project
Archicercle manufactured this trophy for the Premis Extraordinaris de Doctorat at Universitat de València. The piece combines a wooden block with a transparent upper section incorporating the institution’s identity.
The studio’s contribution focused on bespoke manufacture and personalisation. The commission brings together two visually distinct materials: natural wood forms the base, while acrylic creates the upper section, which carries the logo and vertical elements.
The wooden block was personalised with deep engraving. Laser engraving was used on the acrylic, giving the transparent surface a different treatment from the recessed detail in the wood.
The composition contrasts the opaque base with the transparent upper section. The logo and vertical elements contribute to the interplay of light and shadow described for the piece, integrating the university’s identity into the award itself.
