# Design-Focused Basketball Courts Cyril Lancelin's Pink-Clad Basketball Court Fuses Arts and Sports By Ell Smith | Published 2018-12-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinkclad-basketball-court References: [designboom](https://www.designboom.com/art/cyril-lancelin-basketball-court-pink-toruses-squares-12-05-2018/) & [townandconcrete](https://www.townandconcrete.com/) Sports and the arts don't always seem to be an obvious pairing, but Cyril Lancelin's [pink-clad basketball court](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrant-sports-park) offers something for the athletes, and the spectators in the stands. The gorgeously designed court reminds onlookers that [sporting events can be admired](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kunshan-olympic-sports-centre), and the [public spaces they take up](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ballers-sports-venue) can be re-claimed by artists to offer a revived look that appeals to anyone. This particular court consists of large concrete shapes that have been pained a vibrant pink. The circle and squares frame the court's fence, while the flooring features a similar mix of colors and shapes, while still adhering to the markings needed to play the game. The court is expected to be completed in 2019.
