FutureChina Global Forum

A red-and-white ribbon carried from the entry arch to the networking corner.

The brief

Business China's FutureChina Global Forum brings several hundred leaders from across Asia into a single convention floor for one intensive day. The design problem is arrival: delegates enter through a long service corridor, and the forum has to announce itself before the ballroom doors.

What we did

We built the identity around a single continuous ribbon form. It begins as an arch over the approach corridor, reappears at delegate registration, and closes as an oval timber-slat enclosure marking the networking corner — a soft room inside a hard hall. The plenary stage uses the same curve, in white, with planting at the base to keep the scale human on camera.
