I do think that the lettering is yet again bad. The graphic designer doesn’t seem to have an idea of how to do that well. Legibility is as always in France the problem. The black small type doesn’t stand out on the different greens. Johannes Itten’s colour theories should have been read before taking such a job on. And the bla bla bla of the ‘signage designer’ is soo French.

I’m inclined to agree with R, that the final photo shows this architectural project’s uglier side. And Pine Tree has a point that the colours of the signage and Jakob & Macfarlane’s intervention have an uneasy relationship. In my opinion, Vrignaud’s colour selection far outshines that of the architects.
It would be great to see photos of this signage project when it is functioning and open to the public.

The building is not a fashion centre, it’s a mall with a fashion school, an exhibition hall, shops and restaurants.
For the moment there’s no shop insalled except The fashion school.
What is missing on the pannels is the name of the future shops , we don’t have them yet.
And @ Pine tree, i don’t understand why it’s “quite overbearing”.
We have chosen the colors with the architect to not repeat the same structure color.
you are very lucky if you visited the building which is closed!!

It really softens the Brut concrete style. Which is quite necessary.
