The Royal Library has a beautiful building, but because of the various floors and building sections, you could get lost. The solution? Well thought out signage and wayfinding. And because circularity is high on the agenda at the KB, this unique concept was conceived and made from waste. On 80,000 m2 of office space, the KB, as the national library, makes the library collection of the Netherlands visible, usable and tenable. This involves a conscious choice of sustainable alternatives made from waste and 100% reusable at the end of the usage cycle.

250 circular signing items

The same choice was made for the signage. More than 250 signs were designed and produced especially for this special building from cellulose waste from beverage containers (ECOR). This material is healthy because it contains no toxins or formaldehyde. In addition, it is completely biobased.

The high-profile design always shows the source material, so that everyone gets the story of these special products.

Cleverly devised circular wayfinding

The signposting guides visitors and employees through the four building sections. Each section has been given its own colour, so that it is always clear where you are. In combination with an interactive map on the intranet, both designed in cooperation with BVLP, everyone can find their way around quickly. This saves a lot of time and frustration.

It's not hard, start!

This project shows that circularity is not complicated. Even a simple product, such as a signing sign, can easily be made in an alternative, circular way. All the products needed in our buildings can be made from waste. If only you dare to look differently.
