PLATEFORME 10

Wayfinding for MCBA Lausanne

After having conceived the name and the visual identity of PLATEFORME 10, the new arts district in Lausanne, we were commissioned to create the wayfinding signage for the site, including the public signage inside the museums, starting at the Musée Cantonal des Beaux-Arts (MCBA).

The visually dynamic signage features the PLATEFORME 10 Prismatext typography, as well as a unique set of pictograms (Prismaset symbols). Designed to be accessible to all, and adhering to the Swiss ‘culture inclusive’ label, the MCBA’s signage integrates seamlessly with the materials and spirit of the site’s architecture.
