Project Description

In 2021 the Warsaw district Wola has gained a splendid, friendly and everyone’s place – the Warsaw Breweries.Several buildings from the former brewery - now restored - remind us of the former excellence of this place.

When designing the wayfinding system for this space, a fundamental objective was to integrate all signage elements into the surrounding architecture and maintain a unified identity. We wanted all the elements, such as typefaces, pictograms, specific signs, and signage to harmonize with the spirit of the buildings and each other. Our aim was to show lightness and harmony with urban greenery while fitting into the existing historical context. In order to emphasize the character of the space, the signage design was based on several key elements: typography (Gordita and Vesterbro font families), unique icon set, unique illustrative elements and original collages (they were made using authentic historical materials related to Breweries) and original information carriers.
