1:1 – Signage, Orientation, Identity

1 : 1 Signage, Orientation, Identity is a special book. It not only describes a range of design projects over the last ten years design company Moniteurs, but the projects are graphically illustrated; in this way the book gets to the heart of Moniteurs’ 1:1 communication systems. The concepts of individual projects are presented in short, concise texts with many photographs and infographics, while an interview with the three owners of the company, Heike Nehl, Sibylle Schlaich and Isolde Frey, gives an insight into their approach. Moniteurs has existed since 1994. In addition to the design of signs and orientation systems, the focal points of the company include information design and corporate design. This range is reflected in the diversity, depth and precision of the projects. Many of them have received awards, including the Red Dot Award for the design of the orientation system for the Aufbau Haus and the Iconic Design Award 2013 for the Potsdamer Platz orientation system. The BMW Plant Orientation System project was included in the touring exhibition of the Goethe Institutes’ The Dimension of Surface – Communications Design in Germany.
