Door prototype for Antonio

The project

Antonio, an architect and lecturer at UPV, commissioned Archicercle to produce a prototype of a door he had designed. The studio fabricated the piece in acrylic using laser cutting, as a model for a future wrought-iron door.

The door was designed by Antonio. Archicercle’s contribution focused on turning this external design into a physical prototype, with the authorship of the proposal remaining distinct from its fabrication.

The piece has a rectangular format and a repeating openwork pattern, with geometric and stylised floral motifs. Its white appearance emphasises the cut-out shapes and the relationship between the openings and the solid areas of the panel.

Acrylic was used for the prototype, rather than being the intended material for the finished door. According to the project documentation, the final version was to be made in wrought iron with a greater level of detail. The documented outcome of Archicercle’s involvement is the laser-cut prototype.
