Wooden signs for Los Caprichos de mi Hermana

The project

Los Caprichos de mi Hermana, a fashion shop in Valencia, commissioned us to produce its signs. The set brings together the “Adriana” lettering, the shop name and a private-access sign, with applications on the shopfront and inside the premises.

The design was developed in collaboration with Ruth Chicote. At Archicercle, we adapted it for manufacture and produced the wooden pieces using our laser machine for cutting and engraving. Our contribution focused on translating the design into the physical elements of the signage.

Inside the shop, an oval plaque combines “Adriana” in raised turquoise script with “LOS CAPRICHOS DE MI HERMANA” beneath it. The light colour of the base and the contrast between the two texts create a distinct composition: the script takes the foreground, while the shop name completes the piece.

The shopfront signage uses different formats: a rectangular sign above the entrance and a circular projecting sign. The name “Adriana” and the turquoise colour connect these exterior applications with the plaque inside.

The set also includes the name “LOS CAPRICHOS DE MI HERMANA” above an internal opening and a sign bearing the word “PRIVADO”. The latter retains the blue-green colour within a double outline, carrying the visual language of the shop signage through to an access notice.

The commission therefore brings together identification and access signage for different positions around the shop. Laser cutting and engraving in wood were the documented processes used to realise the collaborative design.

The oval plaque brings the “Adriana” lettering and the shop name together in a single composition.

The “PRIVADO” sign carries the colour of the wider set into the interior access signage.
