Inspired by the great metropolitan areas of European cities, our Metropolitan collection pays tribute to the first-ever enamel house number signs.

The Metropolitan collection house signs are a tribute to the authentic enamel signs of the 19th century

The Original House Number Signs

At a time when cities were growing, there was a demand not only in advertising new products, but also to identify people's homes. Family name signs were carved into wood or just painted on the wall directly. An enamel sign has always been a luxury product in signage. After the industrial revolution took Europe by storm, advancements in manufacturing techniques meant that enamel house number signs could be mass produced.

Did You Know?

In the 1800s Ultramarine blue was the only colour available other than black and white and it became the iconic colour for signage, especially French road signs.

Inspired by French street signs, RAMSIGN began experimenting with ultramarine enamel to create the Metropolitan collection. This collection of house number signs honours the style and the production process of the original signs but this time, with an artisan approach.
