Description from the seller

The M letter you describe is a large-format volumetric piece, typical of late 20th-century commercial signage, with a strong presence both due to its size and its design.

Design and construction

• Made from a rigid material —usually technical plastic or light metal— designed to withstand weather and continuous use on façades.
• Its 126 cm width gives it sculptural presence, typical of corporate signs with high visibility.
• The design maintains the clean, rounded lines characteristic of late 20th-century signage, when softer, more voluminous typefaces prevailed.

Lighting and internal system

• It incorporates internal LED lighting, a technology that began to become common in the final stage of the late 20th century to replace older systems such as neon or fluorescent lights.
• The system needs inspection, which usually involves checking connections, LED modules, and transformers, since these signs were built to operate many hours a day.

Aesthetic and functional value

• As a decorative piece, it works very well in industrial interiors, creative studios, or contemporary spaces.
• Its size and commercial origin give it an urban, retro vibe, highly sought after in vintage decor.
• It can also be restored to recover its original function as an illuminated letter.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
