Wooden trophies for Carmencita Lab

The project

Carmencita Lab, a photographic laboratory in Valencia, wanted to share its passion for its work with its most valued clients. At Archicercle, we manufactured and engraved these gifts using wood supplied by the laboratory: offcuts from the material they had used to build their studio tables.

The origin of the wood connects the gifts to the laboratory’s workplace. Rather than repurposing the tables themselves, the project used wood left over from making them to create pieces for the laboratory’s clients.

Our contribution was the manufacture and laser engraving of the pieces. The rectangular blocks combine the visible texture of the wood with text and a graphic motif: a ‘C’ within a dark diamond.

The result brings together the laboratory’s identity and a material connected to its everyday work. Wood left over from the tables became trophies through which Carmencita Lab could express its appreciation for its work and its clients.
