This is the sign out front at the Camper Hotel, Barcelona. Camper is a Spanish company that makes great shoes and although I’m not sure what they’re doing in the hospitality industry, I’m all for it. This place was amazing, very nice design throughout. If you have a chance be sure to visit, it’s in the El Raval which is a very cool neighborhood with great design shops and one of the best book stores I’ve seen at the CCCB (where OFFF is held each year). Loved this sign, was a nice take on Americana via the venerable motel sign.

It’s quite a basic hotel sign in Euroland I believe.
The wondeful thing about it, in my humble opinion, is the cheap light inside those boxes.
Old light is like old paper, a great linear burn.
or the Waffle House. 🙂

I confess that I don’t like very much his work but in Barcelona has got a very good reputation.
