Squeezing my head to create a big pavilion for FELDA that participating MAHA 2010 was a satisfaction. This Asia's larges agriculture event held from 26th November until 5th December at Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS). This pavilion won 2nd place for the best pavilion contest!
This 9 x 18 metres pavilion standing from the maximum 5 metres height. 
The mess for me was to include almost all the subsidiaries of FELDA into this area. With the concept of 'process flow' which bringing the crowd into a flow that explaining the process of how FELDA flows in an unique economic chain.
As you can see the 3 dimensional was built up to conclude the mess situation before the construction work.
The construction were done partially at our factory, and the joining and finishing at the actual location.
This giant pavilion took 2 days to be joint perfectly and took about 12 workers.
Most of the walls were covered if information posters and they were not painted.
The most exiting part of the pavilion for me is this tunnel, it is loaded with information of FELDA's subsidiaries.
The whole view of the mess.
On the top is a information tower that I designed based from FELDA's new tower that still under construction. This tower is really significant to the future of Felda's community. I purposely attached the picture of Felda old houses and the new houses so that people can realize how far that this community had been developed.
Below is the tunnel.
The build in aquarium also attract audience to this pavilion.
Finally this pavilion had become an image of FELDA, I do really hope to improve my pavilion design also for others pavilion that I design for, to deliver the message clearly and to create an impact for the organization or company image through booth and pavilion. Thanks again for visiting fcendvsyudesign and thanks for the feedback! See you guys on 2011, Happy New Year!

After a short visit to Felda Tenggaroh 4, I have collected some brooches that has potential to be market. The brooches had a great workmanship, and the prices are really good. It could be done in volume and the finishing will be in gold or silver plated. All the brooches were made by our metal production center in Tenggaroh.
The first sample is the Butterfly Brooches, these butterflies had its own nice presentation. Above Butterfly Brooch is directly designed based from a butterfly, but below is more aesthetic of a butterfly value.
Organic subject matter is a favorite of all, leave design is applied in almost all item in this world, however Leaves Brooch is one of the most sell able brooch.
I had collected five kind of Leaves Brooches that had their own leaves value each.
Below are the Flower Brooches.
Those are two type of large flower brooch.
Below are a Rose Brooch plated with gold. It is quite small and very nice.
The Hibiscus Brooch is symbolize as Malaysian Spirit, since hibiscus is the Malaysian National Flower. 
Rather than organic shape, this Violin Tie Clip plated with gold is very eye catching among all. This violin can also be done in brooch. 
However the Malay Old Brooch pattern, are also been re-done. Below are two old Malay kind of brooch design that had copied and re fabricated as to maintain the classic design.
The task of developing a premium product is not consider done yet until I manage to complete the set with the packaging. This premium set of tissue box, coaster, and napkin holder comes with a premium wooden packaging with a smooth suede finishing inside.
To fit in these 3 items (coaster, tissue box, and napkin holder) in a box for a set of 12 pieces is a really tricky job although it looks very simple. First thing that I decide is to hands on the task to the right producer with the right job. The wooden box is made by our wooden maker in Felda Kemahang Kelantan which the measurements given by me, and the compartment inside was done by me and covered by our fabric and box production in Felda Trolak Selatan Perak.
All the items are 1 pieces of pewter tissue box, 12 pieces of pewter coaster, and 12 pieces of pewter napkin holder, comes with a wooden carved box with compartment inside that covered with suede finishing. 
After I decide the arrangment for all items, I cut a board to make the actual tempelate.
Below is the picture of the actual tempelate made of 2mm mounting board that had perfectly cut.
Then I put it on a piece of 2cm polysterine as below.
Next the polysterine was cut using the electric cutter following the tempelate.
Until I get the same size of the actual tempelate as below.
I double up the polysterine to 4cm and fit in the items as the picture below.
Then the polysterine was send to the production to be covered with suede.
At the same time I purposely send the same measurement to the other production in Kelantan to make the wooden box to fit in the polysterine.
When both production done, I simply fit in the polysterine into the wooden box.
Now the box is ready with compartments to fit in the coasters and all items.
I purposely arrage 8 pieces of the napkin holder to be standing, and 4 pieces of it stay lying in order to control the size of the whole box, otherwise the box will be too big and it might be very heavy, in this matter of developing products all subject must be count in, the total weight, the size, practicallity, and offcourse the cost.
Finally I fit in the tissue box neatly.
Thats it, this Premium Pewter Tableware set is ready. This premium item was purposely design for gifts at any occasion for the VVIP, latety one set of it was given to the Sultanah of Johore during the visit of 'Kembara Mahkota Johor' in Felda Kledang, Johore Bahru Region.
