Reproduction of an ‘Omeyas’ decorative piece

The project

A client brought a decorative piece bearing the inscription ‘Omeyas’ to the studio, requesting a reproduction of the object, which had deteriorated over time. Archicercle used the existing piece as a reference to make a new version, aiming to preserve its appearance.

The work began by measuring the original and recreating its design digitally. The studio’s contribution was to translate an existing form into a file for production, rather than develop a new decorative design.

Before cutting the final piece, we carried out several cutting tests. This was part of preparing a reproduction whose outline, inscription and internal cut-outs defined the character of the object.

After laser cutting, we painted the reproduction, using the original’s appearance as a reference. The commission therefore extended through to the manufacture and finishing of a new piece: rather than restoring the damaged object itself, we reproduced it from scratch.

The copper-coloured finish complements the cut outline and internal openings of the piece.
