Relais de Chambord
Marugal
The “Relais de Chambord” is a former coaching inn converted into a 4-star hotel located in the heart of the Domaine of Chambord. It faces the castle of Chambord, one of the most remarkable buildings of the French Renaissance.
To draw upon the global identity of the “Relais”, Undo-Redo was inspired by the 3 principles of Renaissance architecture: geometry, mathematical relationships, and regularity. The use of geometric figures of great purity is present in the architectural project and in the decorations of the castle.
These decorative elements have been translated into an ornamental typography, a mark of the Relais de Chambord and a true graphic language specific to the site. The abstraction and the contrasts of forms are also used on the trail of signage: conceived as a gallery of paintings that integrates into the contemporary architecture of the hotel, it unfolds in the form of frames with minimalist forms.
