You may have heard that Changi Airport's Terminal 2 (T2) had recently undergone a makeover and was fully reopened in November 2023.
Amidst the terminal's new digital waterfall display and landscaped garden are some wooden benches with a bit of history.
Unbeknownst to many, these wooden benches are actually made using Nyatoh wood panel fins which once served as privacy blinds for office spaces located above the old T2 Departure Hall.
Careful maintenance over the years had ensured they were still in good condition. So Changi Airport Group's (CAG) Airport Operations Development division wanted to explore the idea of repurposing such materials.
