The Hôtel-Dieu was founded as a hospital in 1443 in Beaune, capital of Burgundy wine production. A charitable institution dedicated to caring for the sick it remained in operation until 1971. Services for patients are now provided in modern hospital buildings.
Today it is a museum and historical monument that attracts over 400 000 visitors every year.
I was commissioned to redesign and revitalize the institution’s print communication assets. Working closely with the team in Beaune I oversaw design and production process from the drawing board to the printing press.
Thank you to Sandrine Allard-Saint-Albin, general manager of the Hôtel-Dieu, for her trust with this project. Thanks also to Marine Bigot and Aude Ralison who were rigorous and attentive throughout the editorial process.
Typography & color palette
Patterns and typographic elements were developed taking inspiration from the building’s emblematic roof tiles. Pictograms help visitors visualize information.
