Comment from David Miskin (Cheif Creative Director)

"It is a great honor for us to receive the Gold Award at the Graphis Design 2026 Awards. Winning in the Branding Systems category as the first hotel brand is a groundbreaking achievement that reflects the success of our challenge and demonstrates new possibilities for Japanese hospitality on the global stage.

We have positioned seven x seven, not simply as a place to stay, but as a stage for brand experience, seamlessly connecting architecture, interior spaces, services, and communications through a unified design. As we expand, we are reminded that a true brand system is far more than a logo, it is an orchestration of all the senses, from the spaces guests move through to the sounds, textures, and experiences that shape lasting memories.

This international recognition is a tremendous encouragement, and we will continue to pursue creativity and consistency as we propose new locations for the future of hotel branding."
