Imagine a passenger landing at Milan-Malpensa Airport at 7 in the morning: in less than 30 seconds he knows where to collect his luggage. Or a visitor who enters a university campus and already feels “at home”.
Behind that experience there is much more than a sign: there is the choice of the right material.
Let’s start with metal:
ADVANTAGES
• Resists impacts, weather, and vandalism.
• Stainless steel and painted aluminum accommodate internal LEDs, IoT sensors, and Braille.
• Minimal maintenance.
DISADVANTAGES
• “Cold” feel if not balanced with warm textures.
• Higher initial cost
Ideal environments:
Airports, hospitals, intermodal hubs, high-traffic retail malls
Our application project: backlit totems and LED walls in the CityLife Shopping District, Milan: over 50 information points in painted steel and smart displays
