Exterior sign for Matoque Restaurante

The project

Matoque Restaurante chose laser cutting to produce the lettering for its exterior sign. Archicercle’s contribution focused on making the letters that identify the premises on the façade.

The letters were laser-cut from 10 mm moisture-resistant MDF. The work translated the letterforms into cut-out pieces: each letter’s outline defines the sign, rather than being printed onto a surface.

The project caption also records a painted finish. The composition features light-coloured letters against a dark background, with “MATOQUE” on the main line and the smaller word “RESTAURANTE” beneath.

The sign sits on a horizontally arranged panel on the façade, with lighting from above. The composition creates a straightforward hierarchy between the establishment’s name and its function.
