Pavilion S is not just a furniture showroom, it is a place where one can relax and rest during the exhibition. The architect used plywood for its particularity to be recycled for secondary use: 821 pieces of prefabricated local market standard size plywood were used. It can be easily assembled or disassembled on site within 48hours, which drastically minimizes time and construction costs. After the exhibition, the entire building was transformed into 410 sets of tables and chairs situated for nearby communities.

Rooi Design and Research Rooi Design and Research was founded in 2018 in Cape Town and formed Beijing and Shenzhen office in 2019. In the design practice, Rooi Design and Research are committed to working with clients, contractors and designers to create better and more “human-scale” environments for users. “Site” is the issue we are most concerned about, we believe design concept cannot be separated from its original context. At the same time, in our view, the architecture and interior design must satisfy both our “eyes” and our “body” as it is an important medium connecting us and the nature. We aim to work with people from various backgrounds and cultures to create a better living environment.
