The project focused on bringing this playful experience to life through the design and fabrication of custom cardboard structures. From the oversized whale and coral elements to the palm tree, seating, and surrounding installations, each piece was created to build an immersive exhibition booth that feels open, vibrant, and approachable. Rather than functioning as standalone props, the elements work together to shape a themed environment that children and families can explore naturally.
Built primarily using cardboard, the booth pushes the material beyond its conventional role by transforming it into expressive sculptural forms and interactive spatial features. The layout creates a comfortable flow through the space, encouraging visitors to pause, gather, and engage at different touchpoints. By combining storytelling, scale, and material exploration, the booth turns a simple exhibition setup into a playful and memorable experience inspired by the world beneath the sea.
