Directory Signs and Complete Building Way-finding Solutions
A well-designed directory sign helps visitors navigate a building quickly and creates a positive first impression of the entire environment. An effective directory is not merely a list of names on a wall – it is an integral part of a comprehensive wayfinding system.
Laserstuudio designs and manufactures directory signs, floor directories, and changeable-information wayfinding systems for office buildings, apartment buildings, business centres, and public facilities. We can work from an existing interior design project or provide a complete solution from concept and design to production and installation.
Your Vision or Our Solution
Wayfinding Systems Designed by Laserstuudio
If required, we can help plan the wayfinding system from the very beginning. We consider the building’s layout, visitor flow, the visual language of the space, and how frequently information may need to be updated in the future.
We can create the design, technical drawings, 3D visualisations, or a physical prototype to ensure that materials, dimensions, and the final appearance are clearly defined before production begins.
Implementation Based on an Interior Design Project
Style guide for the House of the Estonian Knighthood: Kalevi Tamm
For new or renovated buildings, the visual identity of the wayfinding system is often already defined by the interior architect or designer. Our role is to transform that concept into a technically sound and high-quality finished product.
We review the provided drawings, specify materials, dimensions, and fixing methods, and, where necessary, propose technical refinements that help achieve a clean, durable result. For larger projects, we can produce a prototype before manufacturing the complete system, allowing the final solution to be thoroughly evaluated and approved.
Quality Materials and a Flexible Production Process
Pre-Production Approval
When producing larger directory signs and wayfinding systems, information accuracy is essential. We review the wayfinding content together with the client based on floor plans, tenant lists, or data tables and prepare a visual proof for approval.
This allows the client to verify all texts, numbers, pictograms, layouts, and system components before production begins. The process reduces the risk of errors and ensures that only the approved solution proceeds to manufacturing.
Design of New and Custom Solutions:
When developing a completely new design or a more complex custom solution, we manage the project from concept to completion. To give you confidence before the full production run begins, we can create a 3D visualisation or manufacture a physical prototype using the actual materials.
This allows you to see exactly how the materials, finishes, and three-dimensional details will look in the real environment.
Materials, Production and Installation
Material Selection and In-House Production
The most common materials used for wayfinding signage are aluminium composite panels, acrylic, and engraving laminates. When required, we also use wood, metallic-finish materials, and various combined solutions. Materials are selected according to the location, expected wear, desired visual appearance, and project budget.
Because production takes place in our own workshop, we maintain full quality control throughout the entire process — from cutting and engraving to bonding, bending, assembly, and finishing.
Precise and Professional Installation:
A high-quality wayfinding system requires both accurate manufacturing and precise installation. We use suitable fixing systems, templates, and installation methods to ensure a durable and visually clean result.
When required, we can also install the entire wayfinding system on-site to ensure that the completed project matches the approved design.
