Identity
Rooted in industrial form, shaped by art
We drew direct inspiration from the building's facade, its curved windows, rounded corners, and overall architectural vernacular.
The shape was activated differently depending on format and messaging, adapting fluidly across social media, digital touchpoints, and physical touchpoints.

Signage & Wayfinding
Navigation without art labels
The space required signage that was simple, flexible, unobtrusive, minimal, and easy to read, placed only in key locations so as not to distract from the art experience.

Impact
Set to become Bilbao's second major art destination behind the Guggenheim Museum, the space needed an identity that could hold its own in a city shaped by iconic art and architecture. We helped translate that ambition into a brand and wayfinding system built for a world-class destination.
