Lukit© marcal is a high-end signage for exterior architecture. Inspired by the concept of post and panel signs, it is a collaboration between Marcal and designer Guillaume Albot.
The purpose of lukit© signage is to organize the flow of circulation in the outdoor area (pedestrians, cyclists, electric vehicles) up to the access to the buildings. The functions are the identification of the entrances, directional signage, orientation in space and institutional or corporate identification.

Lukit© marcal is made up of a lower structure in the shape of a minimalist arch in colored lacquered aluminium, and two volumes of tempered glass, which are disconnected from the base at the front of the product. The light is diffused through the edges of the glass, frameless or profiles screwed.

The originality of the square and vertical formats are put at the service of the expression of the information, to favor the use of pictograms and that the graphic design determines a different signaling project.

The marking system is conceived in several planes of depth, thanks to the thickness of the two crystals.

The use of digital printing on clear film, with a solid tint vinyl backing, provides a color base on the back while glass protects the information on the front. The use of cut vinyl texts can complete signage techniques without fear of leaving ghost marks on tempered glass surfaces.

The eco-design of lukit© is appreciated by the use of high-end materials associated with an unlimited update of information, favoring a long life of the product.

The different materials can be recycled separately and the product is delivered disassembled to reduce its size and carbon footprint during the transport phase.

Lukit© is designed and manufactured in France, in a local supply chain.

Lukit© is designed to integrate signage specifications and projects focused on “wayfinding design”.

technical description
The post and panel signage information support is made up of the following elements:
Lower load-bearing structure made of 4mm aluminum profile, welded to an 8mm thick aluminum plate reinforced with side brackets.
An upper frame is mechanically assembled by four independent elements waterjet cut from a solid 30mm thick plate.
The frame is inserted by fitting into the lower structure and is mechanically attached by invisible screws.
The upper frame receives two volumes of 8 mm thick tempered glass whose faces and edges are flush with the rest of the structure. The glasses are fixed by means of 20 mm diameter aluminum stand-off, with peripheral chamfers milled, and a natural anodized micro-sandblasted finish. Neoprene washers prevent contact with aluminum glass on the front and back of the glass.
The marking and design of the information can be done on the front and/or back of the tempered glass.
The post and panel structure and the upper frame receive a powder coating to be defined according to the RAL color chart.
The installation is done on a solid concrete foundation, 50 mm below the finishing level of the exterior pavement.
