Signature furniture – Boulevard Cartier

As part of a participatory budget initiative, the City of Laval commissioned Le Comité to design and implement a summer development project on Cartier Boulevard West in the Laval-des-Rapides sector. With the aim of enhancing the walking experience and adding a touch of color to the area, a new range of signature urban installations promoting both comfort and safety was created. The installations are located on the forecourt of the Émile Nelligan Library and at intersections along a section of the boulevard between Legrand and Lavoisier avenues.

Following a participatory workshop with local residents, mural artists, and city services, the proposal to beautify Cartier Boulevard is based on a change of perspective through a range of signature furniture and striking vertical signage. The design is based on the implementation of a series of interventions combining several uses with a dominant warm color scheme that aims to create a distinct identity throughout the area. The furniture elements interact with the various artistic murals by artists @berirouche, @sayehsarfarazonline, and @sarahgalarneau, notably by integrating works directly into the signage using the principle of anamorphosis. This integration offers a subtle and playful new design, combining urban furniture and art.
