UNStudio to collaborate with Premier Composite Technologies at 100% Design London 2011


Following last year’s launch at 100% Design London with a Snohetta-designed stand, Premier Composites Technologies (PCT) is pleased to confirm this year’s collaboration with UNStudio.

Award winning architects UNStudio will design the PCT stand at 100% Design London (Stand No. E130). The collaboration will highlight the growing trend for the use of advanced composites in architecture today and will demonstrate the benefits of working with composites over conventional structural materials.

PCT and UNStudio will join forces to create a showpiece created entirely out of advanced composite materials, in a bid to demonstrate to the architectural and design markets, the benefits of working with
composites over more conventional structural materials such as steel and concrete.

The display, that will be designed by UNStudio, and engineered, constructed and installed by PCT, will be moulded out of a carbon/glass fibre and epoxy resin composite combined with a structural foam core – materials that have until recently been known more for their use in aeronautics and building high performance sports cars and racing yachts due to their lightweight and extreme strength properties.

“We are delighted to be working with UNStudio at 100% Design London. The nature and complexity of their designs are perfect for working with advanced composites and we look forward to unveiling the results.” Hannes Waimer, Managing Director PCT.
