1: 1 - Signage, Orientation, Identity is a special book. It not only describes the projects of the last ten years and the way of working of the communications design company Moniteurs, but the projects are also graphically brought into focus: in this way the book shows Moniteurs' orientation systems on a 1: 1 scale. The concepts of individual projects are presented in short, concise texts with many photographs and infographics, while an interview with the three owners of the company, Heike Nehl, Sibylle Schlaich and Isolde Frey, gives an insight into their approach.

Moniteurs has existed since 1994. In addition to the design of signage and orientation systems, the focal points of the company include information design and corporate design. This range is reflected in the diversity, depth and precision of the projects. Many of them have received awards, including the red dot award for the communication design of the orientation system for the "Aufbau Haus", and the Iconic Design Award 2013 for the "Potsdamer Platz" orientation system. The "BMW Plant Orientation System" project was included in the touring exhibition of the Goethe Institute's The Dimension of Surface - Communications Design in Germany.
