SELIGRAN SHOES: personalised leather shoes

The project

The commission was to personalise a pair of leather shoes. Archicercle carried out the work using laser-cut vinyl followed by painting with acrylic ink, creating a white graphic composition inside the footwear.

The studio’s contribution focused on customising the shoes, rather than designing or manufacturing the footwear. The intervention added lettering, initials and a small emblem to the insole area.

The work used vinyl with a special coating, which was first cut by laser. According to the project documentation, the coating was intended to prevent the edges of the vinyl from melting during cutting. Painting with acrylic ink followed.

Although the original text calls the work ‘engraving’, the documented technique combines vinyl cutting and painting. The finished personalisation is concentrated inside the shoes, where the white composition contrasts with their dark tones.
