SIG STUDIO

Based in Shanghai, SIG STUDIO builds retail and creative workspace environments defined by sharp visual contrasts, pairing heavily gouged masonry and perforated ceiling canopies with dense, living plant facades suspended over dark base structures. This portfolio serves as a strong precedent when specifying backlit translucent inserts within ceramic tile walls, integrating full-envelope vegetation blankets onto urban storefronts, or detailing floor-to-ceiling archive shelving for multi-story interiors.

What we like about this project
The central backlit louvered element doubles as an architectural awning and massive branded sign.
