Discomfort Zone is an event created by Nibol in Milan, dedicated to HR leaders, people & culture teams, and company decision-makers. We handled the project from the ground up – from naming to visual identity and communication – designing something intentionally “uncomfortable.” The visual system revolves around a bold yellow and Aktiv Grotesk typeface, chosen to highlight the uncomfortable truths of hybrid work. Through surreal scenes, we portrayed the confusing, noisy, and often intrusive spaces that define modern digital work.











The brand experience was completed with an event kit featuring one key item: the scarf-blanket. A simple but versatile object, designed for those who live between home and office – a soft symbol of how work should feel: flexible, adaptable, and human.
