influenced by children’s building blocks used to improve motor skills and spatial awareness, design by toko has composed fully modular timber signs. each, unique in its appearance, can be re-configured if necessary. Using a magnetic application, the signage system is installed throughout the childcare center developed by ABA – providing a light and contemporary color palette.
