Almomar© is a collection of pictograms and directional elements designed to support full-scale, accessible, and sustainable signage systems. Manufactured in France by marcal signalétique, this range combines high-end aesthetics, material innovation, and compliance with accessibility standards.
Crafted from 75% recycled coffee grounds, sourced from cafés in French city centers, and a recycled organic binder, Almomar© stands out for its unique stone-like texture with a matte, understated, and tactile finish.
The Almomar© range addresses the primary needs of architectural signage in public-access buildings (ERP): tactile floor numbers and a complete set of restroom and facility pictograms (men, women, accessible, stairs, elevator, lounge area, no smoking, bike storage, locker room), all including braille and raised lettering for tactile reading. A system of directional arrows supports intuitive wayfinding. Customization of sizes, pictograms, and text is available for bespoke signage projects.
Almomar© marcal pictograms and floor numbers are made of solid braille, machined from the block of material. Braille is standardized and the raised writing is tactile. This product is suitable for buildings open to the public: education, hotels, museums, administrations, offices, hospitals, health centers and sports complexes.
The Almomar© product range is part of marcal's global approach to reducing its ecological footprint called "One Circle".

Clean edges and fine detailing ensure a polished finish.
