Our love for large number 5's and creative stairways come together in this installation by Pentagram partner, Paula Scher...
Does anyone know where this stairway is located?

It looks a little like the stairwell in the new museum on the Bowery. But I've only been there once, so maybe me memory is a bit fuzzy.
Smashing, fearless sans serif plus brilliant plotting out of the portion of the landing being covered with the 5.
This is awesome. I wish I could do it to our apartments stairs, but there's only three floors, might be weird.
ummm...why don't you use a number 3?
Is this a "hot or not"? I don't see a place to vote.
Regardless: HOT. Super hot. I love Paula Scher!
HOT. Super hot. I love Paula Scher!
BTW: This is is at the Bloomberg Tower. Pentagram (where Scher is a partner) did the whole wayfinding system for the building.
Ha! I love the "high five" gag, Aaron. nice touch. (and I gave a high five ... I love it!)
The entire system can be found here:

I love oversized graphics, High Five for sure.

lovely :-)
LOVE it!
There is a door on a long ago renovated brownstone on west 95th street between CPW / Columbus that has a solid front door painted with the house number like this. Beautiful and striking.
Maybe it's Paula's home?
Been like that for 25 years since I have lived around the corner.
Fun. Sort of stupid but fun.
