ASD Lotta Brescia · Reception area

From plasterboard to character

A wrestling club needed an entrance that spoke like its athletes: solid, determined, recognisable. Starting from a bare plasterboard structure, counter and back counter were clad with wood-effect and gold 3M DI-NOC finishes, and the back wall became a textured backdrop.

The backdrop

A wall with weight

Behind the counter, a geometric graphic printed on 3M vinyl reproduces a relief of dark stone triangles. It gives depth to a flat wall and builds the backdrop against which the gold counter stands out.

Project materials

An entrance built on material light and identity

Work

The reception area was transformed by coordinating counter and back counter, wood-effect cladding, gold inserts and a geometric graphic printed on vinyl. Furniture, surfaces and visual identity thus form a single front, recognisable and suited to daily use.
