The pavilion is a light open work structure made of plywood and light steel which resembles the traditional Polish folk paper cut outs. It was designed by Warsaw architects Marcin Mostafa and Natalia Paszkowska with the use of CNC technology or computer navigated cutter method.
Boris Kudlicka, renowned interior and stage designer also the author of the Polish Pavilion at the Hannover Expo 2000 designed its interior. It took young designers two months to come up with a concept and a year and a half to design a tender project. They claim the result is a project inspired by tradition which is used in a completely modern way.
