A digraph for Mother's Day!
Please note: to ensure delivery on time for Mother's Day, you must choose the expedited processing and home delivery option by CHRONOPOST.
A digraph is an ultra-personalized decorative optical illusion that combines two words, such as two first names, in an original and surprising way. Place yourself in front of the digraph. Move a little to the left and the digraph will take the form of the first name; move a little to the right and it will take the form of the middle name!
Any pair of first names works!
And yes, even with different numbers of letters! In this case, we use two (or more) letters from the longest first name to make one letter from the shortest first name. (see attached images)
Beyond the "single to double", we recommend the crystalline digraph which gives very balanced results even for very unbalanced first names!
The first thing we do when you send us an order is a 3D model of the entire digraph, to ensure the optical illusion is perfect. This model is unique for each combination of first names. It is then prepared so that the different elements can be 3D printed. Our pieces are made of PLA, which is a bio-sourced plastic made from corn starch. The letters are then assembled on a wooden base. Two options are available: the lightest wood, French ash, is worked by a cabinetmaker and has a very beautiful level of finish. The padouk base is worked in our workshop and offers red tones that brighten up the decoration. A photo pick (metal rod with a spiral at the end to hold a photo) can be added upon request.
What is a digraph?
A digraph is a highly personalized decorative optical illusion that blends two words, for example, two first names, in an original and surprising way. Stand facing the digraph. Move slightly to the left and the digraph will take the shape of the first name; slightly to the right and it will take the shape of the second name!
When is it appropriate to buy a digraph?
Used with first names, the digraph is a personalized decorative object that allows you to express the value you place on the bonds that unite people. It's ideal for a wedding, engagement, wedding anniversary, Valentine's Day, Father's Day, Mother's Day, or simply for Christmas or as a couple's gift... or any other occasion to celebrate love! It can be used for both members of a couple, or for two children, two friends. Those with a more original spirit can even try something other than first names: why not a first name and a nickname? A first name and a value embodied by that person or a project they contributed to? Want to try other things? Perfect, we're all for it!
Giving or receiving a digraph guarantees an original, unique, deeply personal, surprising, and fascinating gift—and above all, it's made in France. It's a real showstopper for your décor and a wonderful way to show off to friends and family when they come to visit! The digraph won't go unnoticed! Expect some truly memorable moments!
How is a digraph made?
The first thing we do when you send us an order is create a 3D model of the entire digraph to ensure the optical illusion is perfect. This model is unique for each name combination. It is then prepared so that the different elements can be 3D printed. Our pieces are made of PLA, a bio-based plastic derived from corn starch. The letters are then assembled onto a wooden base. You have two options: the lighter wood, French ash, is crafted by a master cabinetmaker and boasts a beautiful finish. The padauk base is crafted in our workshop and offers red tones that brighten up the decor. A photo pick (a metal rod with a spiral at the end for holding a photo) can be added upon request.
The whole thing is then prepared for shipping and protected by cardboard blocks and packing particles, also made from corn starch, and compostable!
Will this really work for our first names?
It is of course possible to use first names or words of different sizes: More info here
It is also possible to use compound first names, in which case the hyphen is "hidden" behind another letter so that the optical illusion remains perfect.
However, we do not have the option of using accents or cedillas. Therefore, first names are written in unaccented capital letters.
