F1 Arcade

PHILADELPHIA

F1® Arcade Philadelphia marks the next step in the brand’s U.S. expansion, following the successful debut of its first international venues in Boston and Washington DC. Designed by Anamo Design Studio, the Philadelphia location builds on the F1® Arcade concept with new features shaped for the city and its audience.

One of the most notable design features is the impactful helmet wall, which showcases authentic racing helmets, creating a striking focal point and celebrating the heritage of the sport. The central bar anchors the space with bold finishes and dynamic lighting, while the flexible layout shifts effortlessly from daytime dining and sim racing to high-energy nightlife and private events.

The private room is elevated with sculptural lighting, refined materials, and its own standout bar, ensuring a connected guest experience throughout. Across the venue, F1® Arcade’s signature design language is layered with influences from Philadelphia’s urban character, giving the space a distinct sense of place.

With this project, Anamo Design Studio continued developing the brand’s design identity by introducing new focal points, experimenting with texture and light, and creating moments of drama that feel uniquely Philadelphian while staying true to the energy of Formula 1.
