PekiPeki just opened up their [colorful climbing wall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huachiao-vibrant-sports-park) in Shibuya, a town in Tokyo, Japan.

This wall is pleasing to the eye, as it looks like a hanging piece of art in an almost all-white building.

One of 23 wards in Japan, the PekiPeki studio lets [children and adults](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiujitsu-gym) perfect their climbing skills while enjoying the unique aesthetics.

**Implications** - PekiPeki has incorporated the idea of comfort to sports which, is an extremely rare concept considering its competitive nature. The company is following the popularity of [open spaces and natural lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-tower-kyobashi) as its design focus and has executed it beautifully. While this concept usually applies to offices and museums, perhaps sports arenas can now also follow this approach and transform a rigorous sport such as rock-climbing into something more inviting.
