Tactile design language

The platform brings together various design elements inspired by KLABU's physical sportswear, like its emblematic team badges which are rich in symbolism.

Overview of the KLABU platform

Expressing the unbeatable spirit

Central to the platform is the narrative of resilience and strength; KLABU’s Unbeatable Spirit. These powerful narratives are given a prominent place on the platform, and can 'literally' be heard with sound bites. By doing so, we forge a deeper connection between customers and the significant impact of support.
