Our Booth Designs at German Exhibitions

We are proud to present our latest set of designs and realizations at German Fairs / Exhibitions. These realizations were at the latest edition of the ACHEMA, a trade show held in Frankfurt, from the 18th to the 22nd of June 2012. This exhibition is held once in every three years.

In this exhibition we had a unique situation where we had five clients, but just three stands. One of the booths was a single client booth, but the other two had two co-exhibitors each. The first booth was for a Delhi based company, Axiva Sichem Biotech. They had a corner stand of 25sq.m. The design brief was to come up with a stand that would be simple, uncomplicated, uncluttered, highly functional and yet be pleasing to the eye and welcoming to potential buyers. This is what we came up with.

The second stand that we designed was for the two exhibitors SD India Corporation and Contech Instruments Ltd. Both companies had together taken up a 12sq.m. booth, that was open on one side. This stand presented its own peculiar design problem, in that it had to be divided into two distinct areas, each dedicated to one exhibitor. Yet the design of the stand had to be uncluttered and economical. The design of the booth, hence, was conceived as a combination of the modular system and the wooden stand construction system. The results are below.

The third stall that we designed, was for the exhibitors United Scientific Instruments and Rajas Enterprises. Again a 12sq.m. stand, this was slightly less complicated because the two exhibitors did not require a very clear demarcation of space and hence the problem of overcrowding didnot crop up. Also since the display was mainly graphics on the walls, the stand looked pleasing and simple and very easy on the eye. The photos of the stand are posted below.

Exhibition Stand Design in Germany

As we wrap up our work at the ACHEMA in Frankfurt, and move towards other fairs in India and in Europe, we are proud to present some pictures of our work at the above fair. These are initial pictures of the time when our team was still working on the stands, just before completion and handover to the clients. As more pictures come in, I will post those too.

The first one is of the exhibition stand that we designed for SD India Corporation and Contech Instruments Ltd. These two firms were co-exhibitors at the fair in Frankfurt. They were looking for an economical solution for their booth at the ACHEMA Frankfurt fair, and we designed a stand that was a combination of a modular and a bespoke system. This made the stand look good, yet be functional and economical.

Being a 12 sq.m. stand, open on only one side, and with two co-exhibitors, with their seperate meeting areas, made designing for it a difficult problem. The problem was as much to avoid congestion in the booth, as to keep costs low and yet make it look good. The solution was to use a combination of a modular system, and combine it with a custom-designed element, to act as both a partition between the two spaces and to double up as a display unit.

Designing a stand for an exhibition in Germany, has its own typical issues and problems. The designing of the stand is done in our office in India, but the fabrication has to take place in Germany. Obviously then, there has to be a lot of two way communication between our design team and the fabricating partner in Germany. And it has to be made sure that there is absolute clarity of thought and planning between the two, so that a perfect outcome can be planned. It is here that Studio One Designs Pvt. Ltd., scores over most of its competitors. We work hard, not only during the design process in India and the fabricating process in Germany, but also in between the two processes, to ensure that there are no unpleasant surprises, for us or for our clients!!

We look forward to hearing from you, for your design and display needs at any fair / exhibition, anywhere in India or in Europe, and we would very happy to help you get the right solution for your needs at the right price. We assure you of our best services always. Do get in touch with us!!

Stand design for Automechanika 2012 at Frankfurt, Germany

After an exhausting month, marketing our exhibition stand design and construction / fabrication services for ACHEMA 2012, to be held in June in Frankfurt, we are now about to start marketing our exhibition booth design services for the other significant fair in Frankfurt, Germany ...... the Automechanika 2012. The Automechanika Frankfurt, is one of the largest shows for the automobile and its ancilliary industries anywhere in the world, and is organised by Messe Frankfurt, once every two years.

Automechanika 2012, Frankfurt, Germany.

This year the Automechanika Frankfurt fair will be held at the Messe Frankfurt fairgrounds from the 11th to the 16th of Sept 2012. And if figures from the last edition of the show at Frankfurt are any indication (4,471 exhibitors and 153,837 visitors), this is going to be one very big show. With the biggest names in the automotive industry participating in the fair and showcasing their products for the world to see, and big ticket product launches anticipated all round, the show is already attracting attention from all over the world. It is one trade show that anybody even remotely connected to or interested in anything that has anything to do with automobiles, cannot afford to miss.

Naturally, that translates to huge opportunities, not only for people in the automotive or its ancilliary industries, but also people like us, who design and fabricate stalls for exhibitions all over the world. The way we design a stall in any exhibition, decides how a company is viewed by the visitors. We are the hidden factor that projects the brand image or the corporate identity of a company. Our services may seem limited to product placement in an exhibition stand, but it is way more than simply that.

Over the next few posts, I will be looking at potential design trends for the design of booths at the Automechanika Frankfurt show. I will also be studying the way stands were designed at the previous edition of the Automechanika Frankfurt show in 2010, as an indication of what remained to be said at that point of time.

All exhibitors at the Automechanika Frankfurt 2012 show, are invited to discuss their stand design requirements with our team at Studio One Designs Pvt. Ltd. and evaluate for themselves our abilities in designing meaningful exhibits for their stands. We take pride in the fact that we deal with each exhibitor at any exhibition or trade show, anywhere in the world, as a unique individual or entity. We appreciate the fact that each exhibitor comes with a seperate baggage containing a unique combination of taste, requirements, budget and design sensibilities and we treat each individual exhibitor as such, with the utmost of respect and patience. Do drop us a line at studioonedpl@gmail.com and we will definitely get back to you, to discuss your requirements of exhibition stand design at the Automechanika Frankfurt 2012 fair, at greater length.

ACHEMA Frankfurt 2012

We are very proud to announce that we will be working in the ACHEMA Fair in Frankfurt, Germany. The exhibition will be held from the 18th to the 22nd of June 2012. Held every three years, the last edition of ACHEMA was held in 2009, the trade show is the leading global event for the process industry, chemical engineering, environmental protection and biotechnology.

ACHEMA, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. 18th - 22nd June 2012

For us, the ACHEMA 2012 will be the first edition of the fair that we will be designing in. And already we are working with a very varied clientele. Apart from the fact that we are now associated with one more exhibition and one more sector, we are excited and thrilled to be designing and fabricating stalls for some of the biggest and most respected names in the industry. Very soon we will be publishing a list of the names of our clients at the trade show alongwith the location of their booths, so that exhibitors at the fair may be able to visit and to evaluate for themselves, the quality of our work and the kind of prices that we have to offer.

A special note to all exhibitors at the ACHEMA. I would personally like to encourage you, to meet me in person, in Frankfurt, on the 16th or the 17th of June, so that we may be able discuss possibilities for future fairs. I will be updating everybody, through this blog, about my German contact number, where I will be available. I will also, always be available on my mail at studioonedpl@gmail.com Do drop me a mail and we can fix up a time convenient to both of us, when we can sit, look around and discuss.

Looking for Associates / Project Managers

Studio One Designs Pvt. Ltd., a leading architectural practice based in Ghaziabad, India, and specialized in exhibition stand design and fitout, is actively looking out for associates / project managers worldwide. We are looking to team up with self-motivated, highly energetic people, who need not be highly experienced in the exhibition industry, but are willing to go out and conquer.

Over the last many years that we have designed and fabricated stalls in exhibitions all over India and in Europe, notably Germany, we have marketed for ourselves, picking up stands without really trying too hard. No that we were too high headed or prude.. Just that we were concentrating more on improving our infrastructure and gaining varied experience with all sorts of typologies of exhibitions and trade fairs. Now, after so many years in the industry, we feel confident of our abilities to pull off near-perfect results in the most hostile and unhelpful of conditions anywhere in the world. So, now we consider, is the best time to aggressively market our services to the world.

As project managers, we expect people to be perfect team players, willing to stick their necks out to get the best results, and to be very honest and proactive. You dont need to setup an office with all the associated paraphernalia. A phone, internet connection and a willingness to get out there, meet people and convince them enough to execute a sale, is all you need. You may be located in any part of the world, and working in any time zone. So long as you are able to pick up projects, we really dont have any problems.

And now for the most important part .... salary. You dont get any. We are not intending on hiring people who work for free, simply because nobody works for free. We dont, so we dont expect our associates to work for free either. The keyword is associate. You work as an associate. You generate business and you get a fair share of the proceeds generated by you. The share depends on the amount of work you put in, and can be reviewed from time to time and from project to project. Its like saying that you are your own master. You decide your work hours, your work area and your payouts. All we need from you is honesty, not only to us, but also to our clients.

If you feel upto it, do mail us your proposal and the geographical area you want to operate in and we will discuss further. Our mail id is studioonedpl@gmail.com

Blast from the Past .... IHGF 2003!!!

Recently, I started reorganizing and rearranging old pictures from fairs I had worked in long time back. And I came across some pictures of a stand that I had done for a client in the Indian Handicrafts & Gifts Fair, an export fair organized by the EPCH (Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts) for the handicrafts manufacturers and exporters of India.

Stand design at the IHGF 2003

This stall was built in the Handicrafts Fair in the days when it was still held in Pragati Maidan, before it moved to the Expo Mart in Greater Noida.

Stall Design at the Handicrafts Fair

The high point of the stand design was the use of subdued colors for a very serene and comfortable ambience, and a stand height of almost twelve feet for a stately and majestic look. The interiors of the stand were very uncluttered and open for a more spacious look and feel.

I will be putting up more pictures of stands that I have designed in the past few years, as soon as I have them reorganized.

The Auto Expo 2012, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, India

Recently, I was able to find time to visit the Auto Expo that took place in New Delhi, and have a first hand look at design trends and ideas for an Auto Show. It was an interesting visit, that threw up not only interesting ideas but also highlighted how the same or almost similar idea can be used and reused in different contexts.

The Delhi Auto Expo 2012, as expected, was very vibrant and inspiring, with some very interesting design ideas, and some not so interesting ideas. The crowds milling around in the halls that were displaying the automobiles bore testimony to the glitter and glam of an Auto Show. Comparatively the auto component stalls wore a pretty deserted look. It led me to think that it is not only the content or design of a booth that attracts crowds, it is the glam-quotient associated with it too. Or maybe it is only the glam-quotient that attracts the crowds. How that effects serious business in a corporate fair is anybodies' guess.

Getting back to the design part of the Auto Expo, the Ashok Leyland hall was very well laid out and display was interesting too. So was the TATA hall. The display of the Pixel at the TATA hall and the Jaguars displayed right next to it attracted a lot of attention. The way the hall had been laid out for easy movement and viewing was the highlight from a design point-of-view.



Auto Show 2012

The Ashok Leyland hall was the perfect example of how with very minimal design elements, but a very effective layout the maximum possible effect can be achieved. Notice that the ceiling element is the only thing that can qualify as a design element, but that one element alone is so powerful that it enhances the overall experience without, in any way hindering with the display.

Auto Expo 2012

The Tata Pixel concept car!! An absolutely stunning beauty, a perfect example of the adage that good things come in small packages!! Although ironically the Tata Motors hall was a humongous display, but very effectively done.

Then there were the innovative display ideas and the innovative display ideas and the innovative display ideas ............ Please go through the next set of photographs to understand the repetition of words above!!
