Goal - Path

A Digraphe is a highly personalized decorative optical illusion that merges two words, such as two names, in a creative and surprising way. Stand directly in front of the Digraphe, shift slightly to the left, and it reveals the first name; shift slightly to the right, and it transforms into the second name!

Used with names, the Digraphe is an object that showcases the value placed on the bonds between people. It’s perfect as a gift for weddings, engagements, wedding anniversaries, Valentine's Day, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas, or birthdays... or any other occasion to celebrate love! It can be created for a couple, two children, or two friends. For the more creative, why not go beyond names? Perhaps a name paired with a nickname, a name and a value that person represents, or even a project they’ve contributed to. Want to try something new? We’re all in!

Giving or receiving a Digraphe is a guaranteed way to offer a gift that’s original, unique, deeply personal, surprising, and fascinating. It’s a show-stopping “wow effect” piece to enhance your decor and captivate your friends and loved ones when they visit. The Digraphe won’t go unnoticed! Get ready for heartfelt emotions and unforgettable moments!

The first step when you place an order is creating a 3D model of the entire Digraphe to ensure the optical illusion is perfect. This model is unique for each combination of names. It is then prepared so that the individual elements can be 3D printed.

Our pieces are crafted from PLA, a biobased plastic material derived from corn starch. The letters are then assembled onto a wooden base. You can choose between two options:

• French Ash Wood: A lighter wood, finely finished by a skilled cabinetmaker.
• Padauk Wood: Worked in our workshop, it offers vibrant red tones that brighten any decor.

A photo holder (a metal rod with a spiral tip for displaying a photo) can be added upon request.

The final product is carefully prepared for shipping, protected with cardboard supports and corn-starch-based packing materials that are compostable and eco-friendly!

“Steps do not only lead to the goal; each step is a goal.” - Alain

Life is an exciting adventure, filled with challenges, opportunities and endless possibilities. It is up to us to take charge of our destiny and determine what we want to accomplish in this world. The goals we set for ourselves in life are the key to our success because they motivate us, help us focus on what is important and persevere despite the obstacles that stand in our way.

It's easy to feel discouraged or lose sight of our goals when we're faced with challenges or failures. That's why we created the Goals/Path digraph.

This digraph is a reminder that every obstacle we encounter is an opportunity to grow, learn, and improve. We can't always control the circumstances of life, but we can always control our response to those circumstances. We can choose to get up after every fall and keep moving toward our goal, no matter what.

The path that leads us to the destination is just as important as the destination. As we walk towards a goal, we learn, grow and evolve. Not only do the steps lead to the goal, each step is a goal in itself.

The path to achieving our goals can be long and difficult, but every step we take is an opportunity to move closer to our ultimate goal. Success does not come easily; every challenge we face is an opportunity to improve and strengthen ourselves.

This digraph can be given at any time or occasion, because each person has their own plans & goals and follows their own path. It will be the perfect gift to encourage and motivate a person in your life who needs your support. A person you believe in.

It is also the perfect gift for someone who has achieved an important goal and a good motivation for everyone to persevere without pressure, but with constancy. By setting goals, we challenge ourselves and push ourselves to be better.

Making a digraph is a meticulous and high-quality process. The letters are made from a bio-based plastic material called PLA, which is made from corn starch. Then, we engrave Alain's quote on the base because we think it's a nice way to complete the digraph.

All the pieces of this digraph are assembled manually on a French ash wood base which is worked by our cabinetmaker to render the beveled edges in order to guarantee you a quality product. The entire manufacturing process is done in our workshop in Vendée.

Stand about a meter away from the digraph. On one side, you can see the word “Objective” and on the other side, you can see the word “Path”.

There are times when we forget to enjoy the journey we are on even though the goal is our ultimate goal. Every step we take brings us a new experience and allows us to learn new things. Every small victory strengthens us and prepares us for the challenges ahead, and gives us the confidence to keep moving forward.

Every time we reach a milestone in our journey, we must take the time to recognize the importance of that milestone and celebrate our success.
