The project

Barceló La Nucía wanted to give the menu QR codes at its La Santa Maria gastrobar a distinctive character. At Archicercle, we manufactured compass-shaped holders that bring together access to the menu, a compass motif and the venue’s logo.

Manufacture combined several operations across the different components. We used CNC milling to produce the compass structure, then applied a covering to the lid before laser engraving and tinting it to incorporate the QR code.

The circular acrylic component was cut, laser engraved and tinted to carry the compass graphic and logo. The structure, QR-coded lid and graphic component were therefore produced using distinct techniques within a single object.

The result connects an everyday point of reference — the menu QR code — with the form of a compass. The customisation extends beyond the logo to the shape of the holder and the pairing of the code with the compass graphic.
