The designers used over 5 miles (or 9km) of rattan to create a series of curvaceous, sculptural pods that feature throughout the space, with the largest of the pods standing at nearly 26 feet (8m) high.

Enter Projects Asia worked with traditional Thai craftspeople, providing a new lifeline for these heritage craft communities, and each section of the vast design was handwoven at EPA’s Bangkok factory.
