The Design

About We Transforming Circular Economy Exhibition

We Transforming is an exhibition design about the circular economy. The layout guides visitors from a linear economy past, through a transforming present, to a sustainable future. The content is divided into seven themed zones: food, product life cycle, new business models, fabric, architecture, infrastructure and sustainable lifestyle. The main structure uses a modular shelf system, which makes the exhibition nearly 90 percent recyclable. All display materials and fabrics are given a second life after the event. The total area is 1123 square meters.
