Community gardens, Caravelle

This signage project for the shared gardens of La Caravelle was launched in 2024 in Villeneuve-la-Garenne. We were commissioned to design the visual and signage identity for the community gardens through a collaborative process developed alongside participatory workshops bringing together gardeners and local residents.

The signage system — including totems, three-dimensional typographic installations, and entrance signs — was installed at the entrances of the gardens in order to strengthen their visibility and reinforce their identity within the public space.

The entire project was conceived and produced through an eco-conscious approach, prioritizing sustainable and ecological materials, mainly wood, in order to reflect the values of durability, sharing, and conviviality inherent to community gardens.
