Taking Flight
ExpoDisplays' Flite Fabric Podium/Counter is the epitome of convenience and ease-of-use, thanks to its tool-free pop-up assembly. What's more, the accompanying dye-sublimated fabric graphics remain attached even when the podium is disassembled, which means the element is ready for action in just seconds. A sturdy bamboo-finish countertop caps off the structure, and an internal shelf provides additional storage. An ideal complement to ExpoDisplay's Silhouette and Voom portable displays, the Flite also includes a storage bag for hassle-free shipping.

Exhibitors are constantly looking for low-cost, easy-to-install, and highly customizable lighting solutions. Enter LightPapers from Eos Light, which are thin sheets of LEDs measuring 19-by-9.5 inches. Perfect for adding accent and backlighting to walls, ceilings, curved structures, cubbies, and more, lightweight and flexible LightPaper can be cut to fit on site and is available in five styles ranging from Basic (dedicated white LEDs that project between 2,700K and 6,000K illumination) to All in 1 (color-changing and tunable white LEDs in a single sheet). Capable of emitting a more even glow across large areas than traditional perimeter LED lighting, LightPaper features 3M-brand industrial adhesive backing for quick installations, or it can be nailed or stapled into place.

Add the enviable aesthetic of marble to your exhibit's walls, reception desk, and other elements – at a fraction of the weight and cost of the genuine article – with Stone panels from 3Form LLC. Made from a thermoplastic resin and available in sheets measuring 4-by-8 feet, Stone measures less than half an inch thick and weights just 3.5 pounds per square foot. Exhibitors have their choice of numerous styles (e.g., alabaster, Carrara, and onyx) and colors (i.e., honey, steel, white with gray striations, etc.). Sheets can be cut and drilled into with conventional wood- or plastic-cutting tools and applied with either adhesives or mechanical fasteners. In addition, both the alabaster and onyx style options are semitranslucent, meaning they can be backlit to add a warm, inviting glow to your stand.
