On 9 May 2025, MTTC students stepped out of the classroom and into the heart of timber innovation with an exclusive factory visit and workshop at Weng Meng.
A Founder’s Inspiring Journey
From the moment they arrived, students were immersed in the world of timber — greeted by the founder himself, who passionately shared the brand’s inspiring journey and the rich story behind this timeless material. His insights went beyond just wood; they reflected craftsmanship, tradition, and the evolution of timber in modern design.
Hands-On Learning in Action
A hands-on workshop where students rolled up their sleeves to explore, cut, and work with timber themselves. Guided by experienced craftsmen, they discovered practical skills and techniques that could be directly applied in their future design projects.
Turning Theory into Real-World Skills
The visit was more than just an educational trip — it was an eye-opening experience that connected theory to real-world application, giving students the confidence and knowledge to creatively incorporate timber into their professional work ahead.
Wrapping Up
At MTTC, we believe in learning by doing, and this factory visit was a perfect example of how industry exposure enriches our students’ journey towards becoming innovative, industry-ready designers.
