Signage
Clear signage to bookcases helps everyone navigate the collection to find what they want. Our system is smart and flexible to make it easy to change signs when you need to. A grooved Signage Block on top of the bookcase takes an acrylic Sign Holder into which a printed graphic is easily slipped in and out. As part of our design service, we can work with you to agree guiding for every bookcase header and lightbox graphic. Choose from a wide range of stylish designs and color options with customizable text. Or commission us to create your very own unique design.
