They also learned how sustainable practices, quality control, and digital design technologies are integrated into modern production processes. The visit to De\u2019Nation further expanded students\u2019 perspectives on interior material applications. Through exposure to a wide range of finishes, furnishings, and modern design solutions, students explored diverse interior elements such as wallpaper, curtain systems, and SPC flooring.<\/p><p>Diploma in Interior Design Semester 2 student Lau Yu Kee shared, \u201cThe trips to both Paragon Carpet and De\u2019Nation were very insightful as they provided a comprehensive understanding of the production process, from the initial stages to the final outcomes.\u201d<br>Similarly, Semester 3 student Chloe Lee reflected, \u201cThe field trips were very fruitful and provided valuable exposure to various materials and finishes. The visit to the carpet factory allowed us to observe firsthand how cut pile carpets are produced using specialized machinery, deepening our understanding of manufacturing processes. The interactive Q&amp;A session at the end made the learning experience more engaging, and it was encouraging that three of us won prizes.\u201d<\/p><p>Through these field trips, students learned to apply classroom knowledge to real industry practices, understand the importance of sustainable and innovative design, and see how material choices shape the look, feel, and function of a space. Students also strengthened their critical thinking and professional skills, preparing them to succeed as emerging design professionals.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 21 October
