Local 144
Wayfinding & signage for Local 144 in collaboration with the architectural firm Blouin Tardif. The construction of the brand new premises of this imposing union of pipefitters and welders in Montreal, obviously required new signage adapted to the environment, both stylistically and functionally. Already, the architectural design team had invested in graphic subtleties specific to the client’s field of activity – such as the various deliberately visible pipes along the ceilings, or the circular shape of some luminaires. We have embraced this spirit by creating graphic murals made of circles reminiscent of the tubing. We also celebrated the robustness of the trade by composing the entire signage system on large raised plates with a brushed steel look. The iconography matches the angular typography describing each place and thus facilitating circulation inside the two buildings.
