The project
The Began, a plant-based fast-food restaurant in Benimaclet, commissioned Archicercle to make its cardboard signage. The result turns the message ‘NO MEAT / NO PLASTIC / NO VIOLENCE’ into raised lettering installed inside the restaurant.
Our contribution focused on fabricating the signs. To build up the depth of the letters, we cut several layers of 8 mm corrugated cardboard and bonded them together. This measurement refers to the cardboard used for each layer, not the finished thickness of the pieces.
After bonding the layers, we painted the letters. The fabrication therefore combines three operations — cutting, bonding and painting — to turn sheet material into dimensional signage.
The installed lettering arranges the three phrases in lines on a white wall. The separate, dark letters keep each message legible, while their raised form adds depth to the composition. The documented work covers these signs, not the design of the rest of the restaurant.
