Barefoot Signs Ltd Deliver Striking New Signage for Ca’ Pietra

Barefoot Signs Ltd

As part of Ca’ Pietra’s broader rebrand, the signage needed to deliver not just function, but visual impact. Barefoot Signs did what they do best: design, graphic production (that print really messes with perspective!), and on-site installation.

“Being involved from the ground up meant we could tailor every element to suit Ca’ Pietra’s vision,” said Anthony Hills, Director at Barefoot Signs. “It’s a clean, confident look that makes a real statement.”To support the installation, Barefoot Signs partnered with Ashby, a trusted supplier of high-quality signage hardware.“Ashby’s hardware helped us deliver a result that’s not only visually striking but structurally sound and built to last,” added Hills.

The completed package included:• Concept development and visual design by Barefoot Signs Ltd• Custom 3D wall-mounted lettering for maximum visibility• Bespoke external totems enhancing brand presence and navigation• Precision installation using Ashby’s reliable hardwareThe project has already drawn positive feedback from both customers and staff, reinforcing Ca’ Pietra’s premium positioning and attention to detail.

At Ashby Trade Sign Supplies, we take pride in working with our trade partners to bring signage projects to life, and our recent collaboration with Barefoot Signs Ltd was no exception.

Feedback & InnovationAs part of this project, we were chuffed to get a new product line out the door — Built-Up Letters! We've spent the first half of 2025 installing machinery and investing in staff training, and it's already beginning to pay off. These letters were manufactured in stainless steel, powder coated in a smooth Cream finish (RAL 9001 for those interested), and fitted with 10mm foamboard backing panels. For precision placement during installation, we of course supplied a mounting template.Following completion, Barefoot Signs kindly shared some helpful feedback around the installation process, namely suggestions to pre-apply certain fixings (and leave others off) to streamline unpacking and allow for even faster on-site fitting. This is already helping us refine how we support sign makers with built-up letter projects going forward. Our thanks to Barefoot Signs Ltd!
