Street Furniture - Corten Steel Sign
The architect came up with the new design of the informational kiosks by thinking of the delicate movement of sheets spread out to dry (referring to the Borgo Scacciaventi historical center of the city). Installed on a concrete plinth, the totems have a CorTen ventilated structure with LED monitors suitable for outdoor environments.
We engineered, produced and installed the baskets and informational kiosks. Once production was completed the CorTen pieces were left to oxidize for a couple of weeks. This allowed the natural oxidation of the metal to mature. During this stage most of the run-off and rusting occurred. When it reached the dark brown shade, the pieces were installed and finished off with wax or resin.
