Egg relief signage for Granja San Miguel

The project

Archicercle fabricated a series of signs for Granja San Miguel, using the egg as a recurring motif throughout the signage. The pieces combine wooden reliefs, black backgrounds and separately made details such as moustaches and eyelashes.

Each sign combines an MDF base with a birch egg in relief. Square black backplates create a contrast between the painted background and the pale wood, while different facial features give each piece its own character.

The eggs were first laser-cut, then engraved using a galvanometer laser system. Working at several depths created relief that produces light and shade without relying on paint to achieve the modelling.

Paint was used for the bases and the added details. The moustaches and eyelashes were cut separately, painted and then glued in place. Together, these operations produced a set of signs with a shared visual language and variations in the smaller elements.

Engraving at different depths gives the egg its volume, with light and shade defining the relief.

The moustaches and eyelashes are separate components, painted and glued onto the pieces.
