We are an interdisciplinary team of passionate wayfinding consultants ranging from graphic and industrial designers, to engineers and anthropologists. All with creative experience and a user-centred approach to all phases of a project – from fieldwork and analysis, to concept development, implementation and evaluation.
Triagonal is one of the world’s leading wayfinding design firms providing wayfinding and information design services and expertise globally. Decades of experience within the field and a great number of prestigious projects, awards and recognition have made Triagonal a trusted wayfinding firm creating value for our clients, partners and society. The company is owned by the two founding partners: Peter Donner and Nicolai Okkels.
Our systematic, yet flexible, design process evolves around accommodating the diverse needs of users, whilst creating value for all stakeholders through research, analysis and design. As a result, we ensure our wayfinding signage solutions are tailored to the specific environment and the client’s needs, rather than just being standard solutions.
Finding the right signage manufacturer for either bespoke or standard solutions is key to a successful result, as is working with the right partners throughout the value chain. As experienced signage and wayfinding consultants we work with some of the world’s most respected wayfinding signage companies producing signage systems to meet every need.
Teaming up with partner organizations, which are – just like Triagonal – well-known experts in their fields, vouches for the most qualified and exhaustive solutions.
Therefore, we have joined forces with local and international partners from every field. All of which are from some of the world’s most acclaimed companies within the fields of:
As acutely aware as we are of the specific, yet extremely important place in the value chain we occupy, as humble and respectful we aim to be when it comes to the expertise and contributions of all its other components.
Our approach to wayfinding design is user-centred and purpose-driven and draws on principles such as spatial problem solving, studies of cognitive processes and behavioural design. Our aim is to design wayfinding systems that not only support the users, but, indeed, empower them to find their ways easily and effectively.
Exploring the users’ objectives, motivations and behaviour within a given space is of crucial importance when designing wayfinding. It is essential for us to understand both the users and the environment in which they navigate in order to design strategic wayfinding solutions that add value for our customers and their organisations.
