On 4 April 2024, 23 students from the Diploma in Interior Design went on an industrial visit to KompacPlus Malaysia x VIPP Showroom at Bukit Jalil. Accompanied by their lecturers, Wayne Ng Kar Weng and Wong Jie Yin, the students gained insights into surfacing materials and interior design products.
During the visit, the students had the chance to engage with various activities aimed at enhancing their understanding of KompacPlus's solid panel collections. They attended presentations detailing the features of the materials, participated in workshops demonstrating effective stain removal techniques, and explored the showroom to examine samples and catalogues.
Additionally, they conducted durability tests on KompacPlus panels and toured the showroom to discover a range of products under the VIPP brand. A Q&A session also took place after all sessions ended.
Fan Wen Jin noted that the trip enabled the participants to experience KompacPlus's materials for interior designs where they learned the applications and durability. On the other hand, Ng Qi Wen expressed gratitude for the hands-on opportunity to interact with materials. She emphasized the importance of tactile learning in understanding how materials behave in different contexts.
