In this exclusive movie, Pan Yi-Cheng of Produce Workshop explains how his team used fabric-stitching techniques to create the plywood pavilion that was named World Interior of the Year last month.
Called Fabricwood, Produce Workshop’s pavilion was installed in a Singapore department store as a display area for office furniture manufacturer Herman Miller. The structure is made from sheets of moulded plywood – a reference to the Eames furniture the brand is famous for.
Design director Pan Yi-Cheng says that the studio’s main objective was to explore a new construction process, rather than creating a new form.
“We looked at designing an experimental process, instead of designing the end project,” he says in the movie, which Dezeen filmed in Berlin for Inside Festival 2017.
Pan and his team developed a process of stitching sheets of plywood together to construct the pavilion, creating a three-dimensional form from an otherwise flat surface material.
