Trelace · Signature

A pattern no one else has.

Signature is a screen drawn for one wall: your family name, the tree in your yard, the sky on the night you moved in, a detail from your home. Cut from 3/16 in. aluminum as one full-height screen, lit from within, and made once.

Try it on the wall. Type your family name or initials, or pick another starting point, and see it by day or lit at night.

Drawn from your life.

Every Signature design starts with something that is already yours, then is redrawn to be cut from aluminum as one full-height screen, edge to edge with no joints.

Your nameSet large in our serif between two rules, with bridges where the letters need them.
Your treeTraced from the tree in your yard: the limbs one opening, the canopy hundreds of small leaves.
Your skyThe real sky over your home on a night that matters, from star positions for that place and time.
Your homeA detail from your architecture, like an arched window, redrawn so it can be cut.

Made to be cut.

Aluminum plate has rules, and a good Signature design uses them. This is what we draw into every one.

  1. Bridges hold the inside of letters like B, O and A in place. We draw them in so they read as part of the design.
  2. Tabs hold a medallion's centre to the screen around it.
  3. A solid border runs around the edge, so the pattern stops cleanly where the screen meets the frame.
  4. Webs and corners. Every strip of metal between openings keeps a minimum width and inside corners are rounded, so the screen holds up to monsoon wind.

Frequently asked questions.

Can I bring my own artwork?
Yes. A sketch, a photo, or artwork you own can be the starting point. We redraw it so it can be laser-cut and holds together as a screen.
Is a Signature piece one screen?
Yes. Signature designs are cut as one full-height screen, so the design runs edge to edge with no joints.
Can it carry our family name?
Yes. Names are cut in capitals in our serif, up to about 12 letters, set large enough that every cut stays clean in 3/16 in. aluminum. Letters like A, B and R get small bridges that hold their centres.
Is the star map real?
Yes. A sky design is drawn from real star positions for the place, date and time you choose, as the sky looked from there.
Can letters and shapes float on their own?
Not in aluminum: every piece has to stay connected to the screen. The inside of letters like A, B and O is held by small bridges, which we draw in so they look intended.
What does it look like by day and at night?
By day the sun casts your design onto the wall behind it. After dark, the light inside the frame washes the wall, in warm white or color, and the design stands in silhouette.
Can I see it before it is cut?
Yes. You see it drawn on your frame, it goes through our full review for custom work, and nothing is cut until you approve the final drawing.
Does a Signature pattern fit the same frame?
Yes. It is cut to fit the Trelace Frame, so it works with the same light, the optional back sheet, and the frame's mounting points.
What does it cost?
Each Signature design is quoted on its own, based on the drawing. Founding installs include a design consult on the pattern.
