Les cartels des 1% artistiques du campus universitaire

In 2021, Atelier bora-bord together with Denis Carrier were commissioned by the Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA) to design a signage system for their art collection. From their website (translated):

There are 70 works of art on this campus, commissioned over several decades as part of the “1% for art” initiative. They are mostly located outdoors (sculptures, installations, paintings), with a few inside (in the lobbies of certain departments). The brief was to design durable plaques to be integrated into pre-installed concrete bases. We proposed using enamelled lava stone—a material typically used for orientation tables and known for its exceptional weather resistance. The content is arranged using a strict grid system, allowing all necessary information about the artworks to be included within compact formats. The text is set in a deep violet color, a nod to traditional school ink, symbolizing writing and knowledge.
