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.
