Interior design and brand identity for the Sant Joan Institute

Rai Pinto Studio, together with Arauna Studio, has completed an interior design and corporate identity project for the Sant Joan Institute, an orthopedic clinic in the Sants neighborhood of Barcelona, specializing in the treatment of children and adolescents.

The concept of the project is inspired by orthopedic practice itself. The furniture, designed by Rai Pinto Studio, consists of basic structures that are complemented by visually "added" elements. Additional pieces which, in the same way that prosthetics help the institute's patients, complement the body of the furniture. One of the project's goals was to create a welcoming atmosphere by carefully selecting shapes and applying colors that evoke elements of children's games, infusing the space with a playful character without relying on additional themes or decorative elements.

Color is used to differentiate and identify the institute’s spaces. The reception area is yellow, the exhibition spaces are blue, and the consultation rooms are red. On the wooden wall of the corridor, which adds warmth, you can see the imprints of the blocks and pieces integrated into the entrance furniture. This same playful use of added pieces has also been applied to the typography of the institute's identity, developed by Arauna Studio.

Rai Pinto Studio is a design studio specializing in spaces focused on well-being and health. With a multidisciplinary approach, they transform healthcare environments into welcoming spaces that promote comfort for all users, from patients and families to the professionals who work there.
