Business cards for La Negri (June 2020)

The project

La Negri, in Benimaclet, commissioned Archicercle to produce its business cards in 2020 and new wooden cards in 2022. Both versions bring the establishment’s identity to a small-format object, using different shapes and finishes.

The first production took place ahead of the bar’s opening in 2020. We produced the cards using laser cutting. Their rounded-corner format combines a black circular logo, a QR code and contact details on a light brown surface.

In 2022, we produced a new circular version. Black became the background colour of the cards, in keeping with the restaurant’s visual identity. The La Negri name and contact information are distributed across both sides, with some of the text following the perimeter.

For this second production, we used 0.8 mm birch and 1 mm pine. The manufacturing sequence began with laser cutting the pieces; we then painted them black and, as the final step, engraved both sides using a galvanometer laser system.

Archicercle’s contribution focused on producing the cards and, for the 2022 version, combining cutting, painting and engraving. The change in outline and finish distinguishes the two versions, while keeping the establishment’s name as the main element.
