A Simple Approach

Make People Feel Smart

The mantra behind each design decision. Adopting this user-led approach to the signage and graphics at Belkin allowed for us to create unique moments throughout the office interiors which lead, direct, reinforce, and inspire.

Reading Rooms

We created a set of pictograms to reflect the spirit of the interior design. The system is used throughout as signage and painted graphics.

An empathetic approach to wayfinding

The Pit Lounge

Not Quite Neon

The Pit Lounge is an informal space located directly across from the kitchen and nearby meeting spaces. The low casual seating offers an area for teams to huddle as well an alternative workspace. The lounge’s centralized location and glowing signage help brand the area as a convenient meeting location for anyone in the building.
