CENS-ELI RESEARCH CENTER

Signage design for the CENS-ELI research centre, on the Lyon Sud Hospital site of the Hospices Civils de Lyon in Pierre-Bénite, France.

In this project, for the research and medical space, we selected a typography with a strong character and unique personality.

This typography became the foundation for designing the pictograms and signage system throughout the space. It provided a cohesive visual language that enhanced both functionality and aesthetic harmony. Additionally, it allowed us to create a standout installation with 3D letters at the entrance of the facility, establishing a distinctive and readable visual identity.

This work was executed with great respect for the architectural quality designed by Emmanuelle Colboc Architectes, ensuring the design seamlessly integrated with the space’s overall concept.

Collaboration with Intégral Ruedi Baur Paris and Emmanuelle Colboc Architectes, 2015-2016.
