Illuminated wooden ‘THC’ sign

The project

An association advocating the legal use of cannabis for medicinal purposes commissioned Archicercle to make a sign identifying it. We produced a piece combining the depth of layered wood, contrasting tones and lighting.

The sign was made by stacking layers of wood. This construction gives the letters depth and makes the individual layers part of their visual character.

Only selected layers were stained to emphasise the contrast between light and dark areas. The finish includes varnish, while the lights add another element to the sign’s composition.

The piece features large ‘THC’ letters and a smaller plaque below bearing the inscription ‘VALENCIA’. The arrangement sits on an irregularly shaped backing that follows the outline of the lettering.
