Product code: ESC-MONOLITO
A 3 m concrete wayfinding and information totem with a painted steel plate for signage.
Monolito is an urban element designed to guide pedestrians clearly without competing with its surroundings. Its square concrete base has a groove on one side that holds a painted steel plate for signage. Beyond wayfinding and information, it also serves as a meeting and resting point. The first Monolitos were installed on the esplanade of Barcelona's Fórum Park.
