PSA — Tokyo: “Layer”, in a logistics warehouse

PSA, which the designers describe as the world’s largest grading company in the trading-card market, set up its first grading division in Japan inside a logistics warehouse in Tokyo. Steven Leach Group took “Layer” as the concept for the 5,000 m² (53,820 sq ft) space: cards stacked one on another, and trust built up over years.

Concept

Layer

Just as the company has stacked one card upon another, it has built up trust and achievements over the years. “Layer” honours that and expresses the wish for the build-up to continue.

To keep costs under control, the raw structure of the warehouse was left exposed and new materials, colours and design elements were layered around it.

A counter made of card cases

About 6,000 unused protective cases for trading cards, supplied by the company, were built into the reception counter together with lighting. The counter becomes an icon of the business of handling cards.

Brand red for visitors

The brand’s signature red was used in the key visitor areas, while other brand colours run through the staff zones to keep the rugged space vibrant and playful.
