Anta has unveiled its world’s first brand experience center conceived around the idea of “home” at its headquarters in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, Fujian. Deeply rooted in southern Fujian’s culture and infused with Anta’s athletic DNA, Anta Home invites you on a distinctive journey—Born in Jinjiang, Returning to Its Roots.

The design unfolds through three expressive dialogues. The first—Between Past and Future—is anchored by a striking ship installation in the atrium, evoking the spirit of voyages overseas. It symbolizes Anta’s journey from a modest workshop in Jinjiang to the global stage, capturing both its deep heritage and its bold, forward-looking vision. The second—Between Hometown and Globe—is expressed through resonant elements about the Maritime Silk Road legacy and culture, highlighting Anta’s strong local roots and its confident expansion onto the world stage. The third—Between Sports and Life—comes alive in the dynamic interplay of athletic sculptures, sports materials, and brickwork throughout the public areas, sparking a genuine passion for athleticism. Further enriching the spatial narrative are authentic everyday scenes drawn from local culture—such as tea pavilions and bustling street corners—infusing the environment with warmth and vitality, while seamlessly weaving sports into the rhythm of daily life.

Anta Home also seamlessly integrates southern Fujian’s architectural tradition and vernacular settlement patterns. Courtyards are thoughtfully reimagined as retail spaces, their red brick walls quietly echoing local heritage; gently overhanging eaves evoke a sense of shelter, while carefully curated lighting and spatial transitions give form to the evolving notion of “home,” fostering warmth and intimacy. Moreover, the interior circulation follows the dynamic rhythm of meandering lanes, transforming shopping into an engaging journey. The space is further elevated by modern reinterpretations of iconic regional details, including brick-and-stone masonry, swallow-tail roof ridges, and latticed windows. Tradition and modernity converge harmoniously in this space.
