Custom Displays
What We Do
Custom Displays Built Around Your Product
Custom displays should do more than hold a product. It should communicate its value, demonstrate its functionality and create a memorable connection between the product and its audience. TBKD designs and fabricates custom displays that transform products, brands and creative concepts into engaging physical experiences.
From interactive product demonstrations and branded retail fixtures to dimensional product showcases and integrated display cabinetry, we build solutions around the specific requirements of each project. Our fabrication capabilities combine custom structures, cabinetry and millwork, sculptural elements, dimensional branding and specialty finishes to create displays that are both visually distinctive and functional.

Types of Custom Displays We Design & Fabricate
Products come in different shapes, sizes and configurations. Their displays should be just as individual.
Custom Product Displays & Display Stands
TBKD fabricates custom product displays and display stands designed around the products they showcase. Rather than adapting a product to an existing display system, we create structures that support its presentation, accessibility and intended use. From freestanding product display stands and dimensional presentation platforms to custom shelving, branded fixtures and integrated display structures, we develop solutions that make products the focus of the experience.
Our fabrication capabilities allow us to combine conventional display construction with sculptural forms, dimensional branding and specialty finishes to create distinctive product presentations.
Interactive Product Displays
A working demonstration can communicate a product’s benefits more effectively than static graphics or conventional shelving. TBKD fabricates interactive product displays that allow visitors to engage with a product, explore its features and experience its functionality.
Depending on the project, custom displays can incorporate physical controls, mechanical components, screens, lighting, plumbing and other functional systems.
For RainStick, TBKD fabricated two custom displays: one showcasing the shower-head and another incorporating a foot pedal to demonstrate the difference in water flow between a conventional shower-head and the RainStick system. The interactive demonstration transformed a technical product benefit into a physical experience that visitors could activate and observe.
Whether the goal is to demonstrate product performance, compare features or encourage visitor participation, we develop the display around the intended interaction and practical operating requirements.
Dimensional Product Displays
Sometimes the most effective display is inspired by the product itself. For EMUGE FRANKEN, TBKD fabricated an oversized industrial chuck replica that incorporated acrylic shelves for presenting cutting tools and accessories. The sculptural structure transformed a recognizable industrial component into functional custom displays, combining large-scale fabrication with practical merchandising.
Dimensional custom displays can incorporate oversized product replicas, shaped structures, integrated shelving and custom presentation surfaces to communicate what a brand makes or how its products are used.
Branded Displays for Retail, Events & Promotions
We fabricate custom branded displays that bring products, graphics and dimensional brand elements together in physical environments.
From retail product showcases and promotional installations to branded event displays. Each build is developed around the intended location, visitor interaction, assembly requirements and desired finish. Have a look at our Branded Displays Booth project.
Custom Retail Displays & Fixtures
Retail custom displays need to balance visual presentation with everyday functionality. TBKD designs and fabricates custom retail displays and branded fixtures that integrate products, equipment, storage and brand identity into cohesive physical structures. From freestanding displays and branded product stations to custom cabinetry, equipment surrounds and integrated merchandising fixtures, our work is developed around the intended commercial environment.
For AGLC GameSense, TBKD fabricated 25 matching branded display structures designed to accommodate slot machines while incorporating lockable storage and dimensional branding. The project demonstrates how custom retail fixtures can be developed around specific equipment requirements while maintaining consistent branding across multiple units.
Custom Display Cabinets & Product Showcases
Some products benefit from a more integrated presentation environment, where display cabinetry becomes part of the surrounding architecture. TBKD fabricates custom display cabinets, product showcases, shelving systems and presentation counters that combine functionality with the visual character of the space.
Our capabilities include wood and glass display structures, integrated storage, sliding panels, dimensional detailing and specialty finishes. For Infinity Spa, TBKD designed and fabricated custom interior elements as part of the transformation of penthouse suites at a hotel in Nuremberg into a wellness environment.
The project included a large wall display with sliding doors, counters, wood-and-glass product showcases, dimensional illuminated signage and branded privacy graphics.
Retail Display Fabrication Built for Real-World Use
A custom display needs to work as intended long after the initial installation. Beyond its visual appearance, the structure may need to support equipment, accommodate product access, conceal functional components, withstand frequent handling or integrate into an existing commercial space. TBKD retail display fabrication considers these requirements throughout the fabrication process. Depending on the project, this can include:
- Product Integration: Display structures developed around the dimensions, weight and presentation requirements of specific products.
- Interactive Components: Integration of controls, demonstrations, screens, lighting and other functional elements.
- Storage & Accessibility: Lockable compartments, access panels, shelving and equipment storage incorporated into the structure.
- Dimensional Branding: Three-dimensional logos, sculptural features and branded forms integrated into the display design.
- Material Selection: Construction methods and finishes selected for the intended environment, durability and appearance.
- Repeat Production: Consistent fabrication of multiple matching branded display units.
- Transportation & Installation: Sectional construction, protective packaging and practical assembly requirements where needed.
- Future Adaptability: Consideration of replaceable graphics, serviceable components and future display updates.

From Concept to Finished Custom Display
Concept & Design Development
We work from client concepts, sketches, renderings, technical drawings or early creative direction to establish the display’s intended function, appearance and physical requirements.
Prototyping & Fabrication
Depending on the project, prototypes or individual components may be developed to evaluate proportions, fit, function or assembly before final production. Display structures are then fabricated using appropriate methods for cabinetry.
Product & Equipment Integration
Custom displays are developed around the specific products or equipment they need to accommodate. This may include custom supports, access openings, internal storage, demonstration components, display/screens or integration with existing systems.
Finishing & Branding
Fabricated components are prepared and finished to achieve the required appearance. Custom colours, surface treatments, dimensional logos and other branded elements are incorporated into the finished display.
Insights / Fabrication Guide
Can Plumbing and Drainage Be Integrated Into a Custom Display?
Yes. Displays can be designed around functional components such as water supply, drainage, electrical equipment and other systems when required. Access and serviceability should be considered during design so these systems remain practical to connect and maintain.
Can You Build a Custom Display Around a Specific Product?
Yes. Custom displays can be developed around the dimensions, weight, shape and intended presentation of a particular product. This may involve custom supports, shaped platforms, integrated shelving, equipment surrounds or sculptural structures that reflect the product itself. For EMUGE FRANKEN, an oversized industrial chuck replica became a functional display incorporating shelves for presenting tools.
Can a Custom Display Demonstrate How a Product Works?
Yes. Interactive product displays can incorporate working demonstrations, physical controls, screens, lighting, plumbing and other functional systems. For RainStick, TBKD fabricated an interactive demonstration display with a foot pedal that allowed visitors to observe differences in water flow between two shower-head systems. The technical requirements are considered during design and fabrication so the demonstration can be integrated into the physical display structure.
Can You Fabricate Displays That Support Heavy Equipment?
Yes. Display structures can be developed around equipment weight, dimensions, mounting requirements and access needs. For AGLC GameSense, custom branded structures were fabricated to accommodate slot machines while incorporating lockable storage. Load requirements and appropriate construction methods should be established during the design process.
Can You Integrate 3D Logos and Illuminated Signage into a Display?
Yes. Custom displays can incorporate dimensional lettering, sculptural logos, illuminated signs and other branded elements. These features can be built into display cabinets, freestanding structures, presentation counters and architectural features.
