What do these medals look like?
Our medals measure 90 x 110mm. Aesthetically timeless, they fit almost anywhere, as close as possible to the subject being enhanced.
We manufacture them in Switzerland, in our own workshop, from brushed stainless steel—a particularly durable and ecological material since it’s so easy to recycle.
Personalization
We offer personalization of medal names, for communities, associations or individuals.
Minimum order: 20 medals.
Ask us for an offer.
Super resistant
We use brushed stainless steel 316L, for its extreme resistance to corrosion and the elements.
The inscription is carried out using a special laser marking process, which reacts with the stainless steel and tints it deeply. Our medals are therefore much more resistant to scratches than standard printed panels.
Hidden gems that only locals know about
Where to place the medals
The ambition of Genius Loci is to enhance hidden-away or little-known places. A natural curiosity, an old house, a bench, a statue, a tomb, a village square, a remarkable tree...
The medals have been designed to fit in elegantly almost anywhere, including as close as possible to the object of attraction If it's not your private place, however, consider asking permission before placing
AboutGenius Loci
2000 years ago, the Romans thought that every place was protected by a Genius Loci, - the spirit of the place.
Today, the “genius loci” designates the particular atmosphere of a place, its character, its history. The term is particularly used in architecture.
Now we’ve taken up this notion to create a rewarding and easy-to-use tool for cities, community organizations and individual citizens, to promote and digitize their favorite hidden attractions and secrets, while preserving heritage for all to access.
Created in Switzerland by the brains behind Design Sprint Ltd, Genius Loci SA offers the possibility of making hyperlocal destinations finally attractive, at a very affordable cost for cities, associations and communities.
