INSPIRATION: The characteristics and positioning of Anta's different brands were taken into account during the design of each floor. In fact, the visual elements related to sports and Anta can be seen as early as in 1F. Smooth grey lines, the huge sports figure formed by white lines, the red "A"-like brand logo, and numerous black figures indicating different sports events, all outline the brand strength, speed and beauty.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: As one of the most popular sportswear brand in China, Anta has set the pace and won over its rivals in several major transformation and upgrading processes of sports goods in the past years. To lay out the international strategy, Anta took an important step to establish Shanghai headquarters, which is undoubtedly noteworthy. The interior design of the headquarters was approached based on Anta's special needs, which is personalized and eye-attracting.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: In the resting area on 2F, the brand red color was utilized as the main backdrop hue, signifying Anta's vigor and progressive spirit. Besides, the words "To become a respected world-class, multi brand sportswear group" on the wall clearly convey its brand vision. 3F takes FILA's iconic blue as the key color, highlighting the brand's characteristics with a bright bold design style and distinguished spatial ambience.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in May 2017 and finished in April 2019 in Shanghai, China.
