Japan Sign Design Silver Award

NOBOLT

[Design intent]
In order to allow visitors to move around the 16 different attractions, the design concept was set as "STREET," and the flow of people within the facility was likened to a "road," with traffic signs as the motif. The facility was designed so that visitors could access each attraction as if they were strolling through a city. The area signs and room name signs were also planned to be designed to match the road signs. The yellow used in the signs and environment acts as a warning color, and also serves as the key color of the facility, harmonizing the whole facility.

NOBOLT is one of Japan's largest indoor experience facilities, fusing sports, athletics and entertainment. From the facility concept to the detailed design, we had many discussions with the business owner and other related parties before completing it. I believe that we were able to receive such a wonderful award not only because of the power of our design, but also because of the support of all the people involved.
