A design created for you

The colours of your town, an emblem, a landscape, the motif of a twinning: we draw the koinobori for your project.

Minimum order: 100 pieces per size and per design

Let’s talk about your design →

What if your area had its own koinobori?

A harbour, a river, an emblematic flower, the colours of a town: every place has its own shapes and stories. We can draw from them a set of koinobori designed for your town, your event or your institution.

Every project comes with a quotation setting out quantities, prices, payment terms and provisional lead times.

We design and supply the koinobori. Fixings, permits to use public space and installation are the responsibility of the authority or its contractors.

Projects for a town or a region are planned well ahead: a request made several months before the event is handled much better.
