About Furniture Pavilion S Showroom

Furniture Pavilion S è uno showroom temporaneo di arredamento progettato per una fiera commerciale a Shanghai. Il padiglione occupa 150 metri quadrati ed è costruito con 821 elementi di compensato prefabbricato di misura standard, che ne consentono il montaggio o lo smontaggio in loco entro 48 ore. L'acciaio costituisce il resto della struttura, mentre la copertura iperboloide è rivestita con un tessuto teso semitrasparente che diffonde uniformemente la luce solare. Le unità modulari in compensato, impilate, funzionano anche da nicchie espositive. Al termine dell'esposizione, il padiglione è stato trasformato in 410 set di tavoli e sedie destinati a una comunità vicina.

Production Technology
The pavilion consists of 821 pieces of prefabricated market standard size plywood, enabling quick assembly or disassembly on site within 48 hours. Steel is used for the rest of the body and its hyperboloid roof (positive and negative arch-beam steel structure) is covered with semi-transparent tensile fabric for weatherproofing and spread sunlight evenly into the showroom. The whole space doesn't need a column to hold, presenting the showroom in a clean, sleek manner.
Design Challenge
Having limited construction time and keeping costs at a minimum while simultaneously allowing the building to be fully recycled.
Research
Furniture Pavilion S was developed as an easily dismantlable and sustainable showroom. After the exhibition, the entire building istransformed into 410 sets of hexagonal tables and rectangle chairs. It isinstalled at Comprehensive Cultural Service Centre in the nearby rural community. The furniture has a playful set up that can be added to and pieced together for communal use, thereby, encouraging local activities. It also employs the principles of a circular economy.
Inspiration
821 pieces of prefabricated market standard-size plywood are used as a primary construction material,enabling rapid assembly or disassembly on-site within 48 hours.The pavilion is composed of stacksof modular plywood units that doubles as display coves, allowing audiences to observe the furniture from various angles. After the exhibition, the entire pavilion will be transformed into 410 sets of furniture designated for nearby community.
Project Duration
Start time: September, 2019
Completion time: September 2019 (furniture showroom), June 2020 (furniture recycle)

Operation Flow
Pavilion S is not just a furniture showroom, it is a place where one can relax and rest during the exhibition. The facade of the building composed of stacksof modular plywood units that doubles as display coves, blurs the elements of doors, windows and walls, instead it blends the functions together. The transparent facade of the pavilion captures plenty of sunlight, while the 1.22-meter-deep window prevents the sun from shining directly into the showroom.
