Spotify Woodprint: customisable plaques

The project

Spotify Woodprint is a range of plaques that can be personalised with a song, artist, album or playlist. The campaign presents versions printed on melamine and on different types of wood, with a graphic layout inspired by the Spotify interface.

Archicercle’s contribution centres on laser cutting and printing the plaques. The initial posts introduce a laser-cut version printed on melamine: a rectangular piece combining illustrated cover artwork, music information and playback icons.

The campaign continues with versions printed in colour on different types of wood, without a white ink underbase. This allows the colour and grain of the substrate to become part of the graphic result. The original caption describes the interaction between ink and wood as a ‘multiply’ effect.

The examples retain a similar layout, allowing variations in colour and texture between substrates to be appreciated. Some plaques are presented on small stands that hold them upright, translating the appearance of a music player into a tabletop object.

The range was promoted in February 2021 through cosastudio.com: the initial posts announced its forthcoming availability, while later posts presented it as available. Together, they develop a single customisable offering through different material versions.

Without a white ink underbase, the printed colour interacts with the natural colour and grain of the wood.
