Kora Booth Design

Overview

A branded event booth for Kora Technologies, a pan-African fintech infrastructure company, designed for its event sponsorship. I took it from concept and technical layout to a full set of photoreal renders in Blender Cycles.

The challenge

Kora lives mostly on phone screens. The booth had to turn that identity into a physical space where people could walk in, sit down and talk business, and it still had to read as Kora from a distance.

Approach

1. I used the K in Kora's logo as the plan. Its flowing, curved strokes set the floor plan and the ceiling: a large silver ring at the center, with navy bands curving out to each side.
2. The layout is documented on technical sheets: a perspective sketch with material callouts, an isometric breakdown, a floor plan and elevations. Two reception desks at the front channel visitors in, past a waiting area of bar stools and lounge chairs, toward two semi-enclosed meeting zones and a refreshment bar.
3. The palette is Kora's own, deep navy and silver-white. Materials are high-gloss acrylic panels, anodized aluminum and backlit acrylic letters, with nested-ring LED pendants hung inside the ring. The perimeter walls carry the product suite, the country footprint and the "1 Suite, 1 Dashboard" message in bold, clean type.
4. I modeled, lit and rendered the booth in Blender Cycles on a dark, reflective floor, so the backlit logos and the silver ring carry the light. A top-down view and a clay pass show the structure without color.
