Nomura

Video Wall

Nomura’s NY headquarters features a multi-screen video wall that immerses visitors in the firm’s history. Using shoji-inspired transitions, the installation guides viewers from archival imagery of Nomura’s early years to its present global operations, celebrating cultural heritage and corporate evolution.

The display turns Nomura’s history into a visual narrative, connecting the past and present through immersive storytelling.

The challenge

Creating a cohesive narrative across multiple screens required visual continuity, enhancement of archival imagery, and transitions that reflected both Japanese design traditions and Nomura’s modern vision.

Our impact

The installation transformed the headquarters lobby into an immersive storytelling platform, blending cultural references with modern motion design to reinforce Nomura’s heritage and global leadership.
