WOOD FACE: a face milled in wood

The project

WOOD FACE translates facial features into a wooden piece. Archicercle’s documented contribution was volumetric CNC milling; the recorded stage reveals the resulting form and the layers still to be removed during final finishing.

The face sits within an oval-shaped recess, surrounded by the piece’s rectangular surface. The contrast between this outer plane and the volume of the facial features defines the composition.

Archicercle carried out the milling to form the face in wood. The available views record the piece from different angles, revealing both the depth of the relief and the stepped texture retained by the surface at this stage.

The publication explicitly states that the final finishing stage was still needed to remove the layers. The documented result therefore represents an intermediate stage of fabrication, rather than the finished piece.

The oval outline frames the face within the rectangular format.

The visible layers remain ahead of the final finishing stage.
