Twistes Plinth
Twisted Plinth is a 'Patalab designed stainless steel display stand that can be adjusted in height and tilted from 0 - 90°. The capacity for reconfiguration is achieved by cutting the plinth along a 45° plane that acts as a joint allowing the upper part to slide along the cut plane for height adjustment, or, tilting displays into more favorable presentation angles.
This mechanical plinth thus provides higher levels of flexibility for the exhibition of objects than static ones. Assembled in groups of two or more the plinths’ individual configurations can add to a sense of communication amongst the displays themselves.

Project • By Banker Wire • Universities
Tree of Success
Fox Valley Technical College, located in Appleton, Wisconsin, wanted a large-scale sculpture to place behind the concierge desk of the new Student Success Center.

Students in FVTC’s Wood Manufacturing Technology program designed and built its stump with the wood from a large oak tree removed during the center’s constru... More
