Article Design MontréalAs part of the 'Biblio.Test: Laboratoire en design de services Public pour des bibliothèques plus résilientes' project, Superwise took part in the development of a youth zone at the Saint-Pierre library in the city of Lachine.
With the aim of increasing the attractiveness of this section of the library, Superwise's intervention took the form of a functional, narrative graphic spaces to enhance a variety of modules designed to promote book reading among young visitors. A contrasting monochrome palette was deployed on a large, free-form mural. A hanging system integrated into the mural was designed to accommodate self-service seating for a multi-functional stage.
With a focus on sustainable development, existing shelves were outfitted and incorporated into the new layout proposed by the architects.
