When we were asked to design wooden monolith signs, our joiners designed three stunning timber signs. The signage needed to be sympathetic to the surroundings, reflect the local environment and offer a practical signage solution.
The commission was from design agency Fluid Ideas who produced design concepts for three wooden signs covering the entrance of the site.
Wooden Totem/Monolith signs
We designed the wooden monolith and all the wooden signs into kit form. This is so the signage could be put together on site in minimal time, and with relative ease.
This wooden signage also included overhanging tray signs applied to the timber, together with laser cut acrylic lettering.
We have produced a number of versions of this wooden sign as well as similar and bespoke alternatives. If you have a design in mind, please speak to one of the signage team to discuss your requirements. Or, if you have artwork, send that over to us and we’ll quote accordingly.
Three variants of this design…
We designed and constructed three variants of this design. The 3.2 metre high monolith as shown above was produced and installed alongside a fence mounted sign and a similar sized landscape version. See the image gallery below to see each of the signs fitted alongside these wooden monolith signs.
Which Wood is Used on the Monolith?
Our client requested an Oak finish on the signs. We were able to create a similar colour and grain to Oak, from Idigbo. This timber is very stable and is hard enough to take fixings extremely well. Although the Idigbo doesn’t necessarily need to be treated, it does add to its durability and stability if a coating is added. Call us to discuss which treatment is best for your wooden signage.
Double sided wooden monolith signs
Although the monolith signs were double sided, we also crafted a single sided version of the signs which could be attached to railings. Because this was a single sided wooden sign, the fixtures were finished on the back to a high standard, and painted to match the railings.
All the signs were finished with a timber capping to add further protection to the sign. Each sign being finished to the highest standards. The finishing includes Oak pellets to hide any fixing heads as well as apexed caps to enhance drainage.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch regarding any wooden signage, no matter how big or small the project.
