Wood Pattern: geometric timber borders

The project

Wood Pattern brings together decorative border samples made as part of Archicercle’s research and experimentation. The work explores different ways of creating geometric patterns in timber, comparing processes and finishes.

The studio’s contribution centres on experimentation and making the samples. The documented processes include laser work and CNC V-groove machining, within an R&D practice that sets aside time to test materials and tools.

The material used is copper-treated pine. Across its surface, geometric motifs sit alongside the visible grain: some samples feature dark marks and parallel lines, while others are characterised by repeated grooves and sloping planes.

The collection explores pattern both as a drawing on timber and through relief. The elongated pieces carry the geometry along the border, while close-up details reveal the relationship between diagonals, recesses and the texture of the wood.

Grooves and sloping planes give depth to the repeating geometry.
