The project

What we did

Client: Tótems Exposició
Sector: Culture
Area: Printing · Signage
Type of work: Corporate signage · Outdoor advertising
Location: Spain

Fabrication of corten steel signage totems for an open-air exhibition space. Each totem is a vertical plate with the word 'EXPOSICIÓ' cut through it vertically, set into the planted bed beside the exhibits, with a weathered finish that suits the garden setting.

The challenge

The signage had to withstand the weather without maintenance and not compete with the works on show in the garden. The cut-through letters required clean cutting to remain legible against the changing background of the landscape.

Our solution

Corten steel was chosen because it forms its own protective rust layer and gives a warm tone in keeping with the garden. The letters were cut through the plate, so the text reads through the contrast between the steel and what is seen through it. The totems were fixed into the ground on a buried metal foot, with no visible bases. Installation was carried out by our own crew.
