Let’s talk about the immense impact design can have on your built environment. We’ve been defying the ordinary for more than 30 years, redefining how brand and culture can be extraordinarily infused into spaces using wayfinding graphics, custom signage and environmental design. We do things a bit differently here. Our human-centered design team unlocks imaginative possibilities for you to more strongly connect people to the environment that surrounds them through:

Signage & Wayfinding Systems

CORPORATE ENVIRONMENTS
KPMG CHICAGO IGNITION
KPMG Ignition Centers throughout the United States serve as the innovation and transformation hubs for the global professional services firm. Each is uniquely designed to represent the disruptive thinking that happens within the space and serve as everyday inspiration for both workforce and clients.
HEALTHCARE
AMITA HEALTH
Two well-known and loved suburban Chicago healthcare systems merged to create the entirely new brand of AMITA Health. To alleviate patient confusion as their care may now lead them across multiple campuses and buildings of both previous organizations, Forcade developed a cohesive and contemporary exterior wayfinding system for all locations. The signage provides patients with clear and simple guidance as well as an introduction to the new patient-first AMITA Health brand.
DEVELOPMENT
CME
Home to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, this building underwent a dramatic transformation to bring it from a place known for trading futures to a dynamic, future-forward workplace for young professionals. To shed its dated reputation and express the energy and essence of this evolution, Forcade developed a striking “Building a Bolder Future” storyline. The story was told through a graphic experience that beautifully wove together what the property was known for and what was to come, creating excitement and anticipation for the future without abandoning the importance of the past.
HOSPITALITY
THE HOXTON HOTEL
Each hotel in London-based Ennismore’s stunning portfolio is designed to reflect the uniqueness of its city and neighborhood. Forcade worked with this global owner and developer of hospitality properties to bring their renowned level of detail and distinctiveness to The Hoxton Chicago.
THE LITTLE THINGS MAKE
THE BIGGEST STATEMENTS.
Our signage and wayfinding design solutions transform your space into one that’s approachable and meaningful. Our focus is on creating environments that don’t just identify and guide but directly embody the culture of your organization.
