The project
We made the lettering for Alfonso Calza’s piano and used the material left over from cutting to position the letters. The template retained the typographic layout, providing a reference for placement and spacing.
Making the lettering also produced a tool for positioning it. Rather than discarding the material surrounding the cut-out letters, we reused it as a template: the letter-shaped openings allowed the layout to be transferred to the surface.
We used these templates to position the letters, maintaining their relative placement and the spacing between them. The same cutting operation therefore produced both the lettering and its placement guide, connecting fabrication and fitting through the reuse of material.
