I.Design signage

Signage is a largely commonplace field, and its media even more so. While graphic design often meets aesthetic and functional criteria, the media themselves remain mostly standardized. However, my experience over several years working with media featuring identity-based design (I.Design) shows how something perceived as an add-on can become a prominent feature, taking on a different role in the landscape and a different function.

Niaux Cave

Located at the entrance to the Niaux Cave, classified as a Historic Monument since 1911, this welcome panel is an extension of the monumental Corten steel work designed by architect Massimiliano Fuksas, which marks the site with a modern imprint while spectacularly enhancing it. My design, using the same material language, sought its own identity through a subtle interplay rooted in respect, coherence, and complementarity, to create signage that is understated yet original, evoking the depth of the cave into which visitors are about to enter.

Ariège Departmental Ecogolf

The Ariège departmental golf course, located in Unjat, opted to make a radical change in its management of the grounds to become an “ecogolf”. On this occasion, I was consulted to create a set of signage that had to meet both a sustainable development objective and the creation of a new design identity befitting the prestige of a nationally recognized golf course.
