The story
Aether's sustainability claims had to survive scrutiny from an audience of energy engineers. Every material decision needed a defensible answer.
Objective
Demonstrate credible circularity while hosting technical partner meetings throughout the show.
Solution
The structure uses bolted, screw-free timber connections so every element can be disassembled and returned to stock. Planting is integrated into the slat wall on removable trays, and all graphics are on tensioned recycled fabric rather than single-use print.
