QR Mix: sample QR plaques in birch and MDF

The project

QR Mix brings together sample QR code holders for menus and other information. Archicercle presents two material options: laser-cut and engraved birch, and MDF that is cut, engraved and then painted.

The campaign was shared in May 2021, as businesses were reopening and using QR codes to provide access to menus and information. The pieces are presented as a range of samples, rather than an identified commission for a particular establishment.

The circular format provides a base for combining QR codes and text in different layouts. The collection alternates light wood surfaces with red versions, giving prominence to both the code and the name accompanying each proposal.

For the birch pieces, the campaign text documents laser cutting and engraving. For the MDF, it specifies cutting, engraving and a subsequent application of paint. These two variants define the presentation: a single family of holders with different material and graphic treatments.
