TAKT
Expo Design & Reusable Furniture
By adhering to the philosophy of 'Design that extends beyond itself,' Takt not only created a unique expo theatre design for the competition but designed in a way that materials could be totally repurposed with no wastage to create custom designed chairs, tables, shelves and even light fittings to be donated to a local charity.

The project involved creating designs for a theatre space and hub for DesignBUILD's expo, using locally sourced, responsibly certified materials that could be repurposed after the event for charitable organizations. The team aimed to achieve simplicity of design with functional dual purpose, using CNC Laser cut pre-fabricated, flat-design to be assembled on-site. They also contacted The Samaritans to find out what supplies they needed, which they integrated into their design. The team continued to iterate and improve the design, resulting in a minimal and efficient flat-pack design that met the brief objectives of collaboration, innovation, sustainability, and compliance.
