pop up stand

Internship | 2019

A light-weight, customizable, portable stand made specifically for pop up stalls to maximize the utility of a 10 ft. x10 ft. standard booth.

​

Designed to display lifestyle products like bags, clocks, coasters, and books. Products can be displayed either by hanging them on hooks or arranging them on shelves.

 

Custom designed pegs can be screwed into the panel as desired by the user, enabling it to be used as a hook, or a support for a shelf.

Material: HDPE

Size: 78” x 5.5” x 0.2”
