Design a commemorative piece for the 15th anniversary of the Institut Pasteur of Montevideo. A tangible object that represents the institution's journey and translates its identity into a lasting format.

We took the institute's own visual system as our starting point. The idea was to construct a piece that materializes the passage of time, linking form, meaning, and anniversary in a single object.

We designed a wooden statuette composed of 15 alternating sheets of guatambú and mahogany, one for each year of the institution's existence. Through a handcrafted carpentry process by Claudio Marcel Fontes Correa, the pieces are curved into an organic form that echoes the institution's visual identity. Conceived to be seen from multiple angles, each perspective revealing a different interpretation of the whole.

A unique piece that encapsulates history and identity. A commemorative object that connects the symbolic with the material and translates the anniversary in a lasting way.
