The project
Mahora restaurant commissioned Archicercle to bring a natural character to its frontage. Our contribution was to manufacture the wooden letters, apply a waterproofing varnish and mount them on the sign’s backing panel.
The letters were CNC-routed from 3 cm thick pine. Their depth and wood tone contrast with the black background, in a composition that brings together the Mahora name and a geometric symbol to its right.
A two-component varnish was applied to waterproof the letters. The backing panel was made from phenolic birch plywood with a black lacquered finish, combining two wood materials with different treatments.
The letters were mounted using spacers between them and the backing panel. This arrangement holds the pieces away from the background plane and gives the sign its relief: the wood is concentrated in the name and symbol against the dark panel.
