Wooden signs for Romanssera Tapasseria

The project

Archicercle produced two signs for Romanssera Tapasseria, a restaurant in Burjasot, Valencia. The work combined laser cutting and engraving, milling and staining to create wooden signs with the restaurant’s name in raised lettering.

The sign bases were made from pine using laser cutting and engraving. The restaurant’s name was milled separately, ready to be placed over the base. Production therefore combined work on the surface with the depth of the raised letters.

The wooden lettering was stained to create greater contrast against the background. The dark finish of the letters against the light base distinguishes the two layers of the sign and brings the lettering to the fore. Archicercle’s documented contribution focused on manufacturing the two pieces and applying this treatment to the wood.
