With clear numerical markings and simple graphic symbols, it enables visitors to quickly locate floor information. Additionally, the color and material of the signage are consistent with the overall signage system, reflecting the coherence and integrity of the design.
Material and Craftsmanship: 304 stainless steel is selected as the main material for the frame, with a satin brushed surface treatment to present a delicate metallic texture, which aligns with the law firm's brand image of "professionalism and reliability".
