Wayfinding and visual identity system of the Wilanów Palace Museum
Task:
Designing a signage scheme for the Museum space: the palace, the park and the surrounding area of the Museum of King Jan III’s Palace at Wilanów to help visitors self-orientate around the area. The signage system is introduced to order the information space of the historic building and its surroundings and to increase its visual coherence.
Solution:
In order to clarify the visual information system of the museum, reflecting a multitude of forms, epochs, styles and hues, we’ve limited its range of colours to a minimum. We’ve used two sister typefaces: Clavo and Lelum Sans designed by Micha? Jarociński / DadaStudio. On the basis of the structural elements of the Clavo typeface, we’ve built a set of pictograms used on the panels and printed collateral.
We’ve analysed the economy of production and how easy the signage is to implement, as well as a large set of existing elements that had to be incorporated into the project. We’ve transposed the system to other media, namely information leaflets and educational materials.
Our work:
Designing indoor and outdoor information panels and directional signs, designing the maps of the palace and park ensemble, printed collateral and posters.
