QR menu stands for DeLocos

The project

For DeLocos restaurant, we manufactured a series of tabletop stands carrying its menu QR code. Archicercle handled the full fabrication process, from cutting the sheets into individual plates to the final bend that forms the base.

Work began by cutting rectangular plates from 3 mm black acrylic. Before engraving the design into the material, we covered the pieces with adhesive film. This mask defined the areas that would receive paint.

After engraving, we spray-painted the engraved areas. The masking protected the rest of the surface, confining the painted finish to the menu graphics.

The final operation was heat bending. Using a heat-bending machine, we shaped each plate to create the lower curve that serves as its base. The QR display face and its support are therefore formed from a single piece of acrylic.

The finished set features the DeLocos name, a central QR code and smaller information text. Repeating this layout and the curved base gives the units manufactured for the restaurant a consistent appearance.

The adhesive film acted as a mask while the engraved areas were spray-painted.

The base is formed by bending the plate itself, rather than adding a separate support.
