Two first names, an XXL engraving, an unforgettable story.
What is a Digraph?
The digraph is a highly personalized decorative optical illusion that merges two words, such as two first names, in an original and surprising way. By positioning yourself in front of the digraph, a slight shift to the left will reveal the shape of the first name, while a shift to the right will reveal the shape of the middle name.
Ideal Opportunities to Acquire a Digraph
By using first names, the digraph becomes a symbolic object, testifying to the value of the bonds that unite individuals. It is a perfect choice for gifts such as weddings, engagements, wedding anniversaries, Valentine's Day, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas, birthdays, and any other special occasion celebrating love. It can be adapted to couples, friends, or even more original combinations such as first name and nickname, or first name and value embodied by the person. Let your creativity run wild, we are here to support you!
Offering or treating yourself to a digraph guarantees an original, unique, very personal, surprising and captivating gift. The digraph represents a symbolic gift for a couple. A real "wow effect" to integrate into your decoration and to share with your friends and relatives during their visits. The digraph will not fail to arouse beautiful emotions!
The Originality of our Digraph:
At Digraphe, we offer a whole new style of engraving! Tell us in a few sentences the engraving model you would like to see appear on the top of your digraphe, and we will send you three copies corresponding to your request, from which you can make your choice.
Difference with a Basic Digraph:
This new digraph variant offers a wider range of engraving possibilities. The innovation lies in the engraving on the top of the base, offering more space to free your imagination.
Process of Making a Digraph:
Upon receipt of your order, we create a unique 3D model for each combination of first names, guaranteeing a perfect optical illusion. This model is then prepared for 3D printing in PLA, a bio-sourced material made from corn starch. The pieces are assembled on a base made of French ash or padouk wood, depending on your choice, carefully crafted. For shipping, the whole thing is protected by cardboard wedges and compostable packing particles, also made from corn starch. And the most wonderful thing is that the digraph is a gift made in France!
Compatibility with Your First Names:
Our process allows for the use of names of different sizes, including compound names with the hyphen subtly integrated to preserve the optical illusion. However, please note that names are made in unaccented capital letters, excluding the use of accents or cedillas. For more information, see here .

Your Questions
Will it work with our names ?
It is, of course, possible to use names or words of different lengths: More info here.
Compound names can also be used, with the hyphen "hidden" behind another letter to maintain the optical illusion.
However, we cannot include accents or cedillas. Names are therefore created in uppercase letters without diacritics.

How is a Digraphe made ?
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!
