Totems & Pylons
Freestanding totems and pylons that mark an entrance, a campus or a roadside from a distance.
Overview
A totem is a tall, slim freestanding sign; a pylon is usually larger and carries more content. Both identify a place from the road or the entrance, so scale, height and visibility matter more than detail.
These are structural pieces. They need a base or foundation that suits the ground, a structure that handles wind, and, if lit, a protected power supply. We plan the fabrication and the fixing together, and the installation on site when you need it.
