From Forest to Future: MTTC Students Discover the Art of Timber at Weng Meng

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
