Wayfinding
We design wayfinding and orientation systems. A good sense of orientation is a basic need and a key factor for our well-being. With wayfinding systems, we shape how we move through a space, how we navigate it, and how we experience it to the fullest. Wayfinding and orientation systems reinforce the identity of a place, create positive experiences, and empower people to move freely.
Brands
We design brand identities. Excellent visual representation and clear communication make it possible to convey key messages and themes effectively. This creates a unique, authentic identity that unfolds its full impact in every dimension. Well-crafted information design is also an essential component of a comprehensive corporate design.
Digital Products
We design digital applications, such as dynamic wayfinding systems or user interfaces for spatial displays. Functional, well thought-out, and focused on the essentials, these products are always part of comprehensive corporate design programs or spatial identities.

The 5 is in sight!
We start the year 2025 with a curious look
5 per cent of the universe is known to us. 95 per cent is still being researched and is full of secrets. Scientific teams around the world are working on the question of whether dark matter is an essential component of this 95 per cent. Dark energy could be responsible for the fact that our universe is growing faster than expected. On our annual Christmas walk, we visited the planetarium in Berlin’s Treptower Park and gazed into the sky with fascination. It’s impressive what people have explored so far, so much that we still don’t know … we wish you a happy and insightful New Year!

Braunschweig Municipal Hospital
Wayfinding system for the large hospital
The Braunschweig Clinical Centre is setting a significant milestone in the region’s healthcare provision with the construction of the modern and functional central clinic. New and existing buildings are being restructured in terms of content and design. The new signage system makes the new structure understandable and recognisable. Moniteurs won the public competition in 2021 and the first new building was opened in October 2024. The wayfinding system developed by Moniteurs is now being gradually implemented.
