Exhibition Stall Designer
Work directly with an exhibition stall designer who plans your layout, brand walls, product display and meeting zones, then hands over 3D renders and organiser-ready drawings.
What's included
Our exhibition stall designer service
Work directly with an exhibition stall designer who plans your layout, brand walls, product display and meeting zones, then hands over 3D renders and organiser-ready drawings. What you receive is a design package covering plan, elevations, materials schedule and electrical load. We validate the design against the organiser's rulebook before you see it — height, rigging, fire rating and electrical load — because a rejected design costs weeks.
Exhibition Stall Designer sits in our design practice, alongside exhibition stall design, kiosk design, brand experience zones. Most projects combine two or three of those, which is why we quote them as one scope with one project manager rather than as separate vendors.
- Designer assigned to your brief
- Concepts in 48 hours
- 3D renders and walkthroughs
- Organiser-ready technical drawings
Price guide: Free with fabrication orders; design-only projects quoted per stall.
How exhibition stall designer works
01
Brief and benchmark
First we establish the constraints: area, number of open sides, ceiling and rigging limits, budget band, and the handful of outcomes the show has to deliver. A design brief without those is a mood board.
02
Concept and layout
Concept work is mostly circulation. Visitors should be able to enter without committing, see the product immediately and reach a person without being intercepted — and your team needs somewhere to keep bags and stock out of sight.
03
3D visualisation
We visualise at eye level from the aisle, not from an impossible corner view, so you are approving what a visitor will actually see. Changes here cost nothing; changes after fabrication cost a great deal.
04
Technical drawing set
Finally the design is documented properly. Every panel gets a dimension, every circuit a load, every finish a code — which is what stops the built stall drifting from the approved visual.
Our designer stays reachable through build-up, so any on-site decision matches the drawing instead of being improvised.
Who this is for
Exhibition stall designer suits exhibitors who have booked space and need a design their team, their organiser and their fabricator can all work from. If you are still choosing between a shell scheme upgrade and raw space, start here — the layout decision is worth more than any finish choice you make later.
What exhibition stall designer costs
Free with fabrication orders; design-only projects quoted per stall. Beyond that headline, the variables that actually move an exhibition stall designer quote are stall area and ceiling height, number of open sides, how much custom joinery the concept needs and graphic area and print finish. A quote itemised against those lines is the only way to tell a cheap stall from an incomplete one.
Cost drivers
- stall area and ceiling height
- number of open sides
- how much custom joinery the concept needs
- graphic area and print finish
- number of revision rounds
- whether technical drawings are needed for organiser approval
Stall sizes and lead times
The space plan below uses the same formula as our stall planner, so the numbers on this page and the numbers the tool gives you agree. Storage takes 10% of the area up to 18 sq.m and 15% above it, a meeting corner takes 5% unless you are hosting meetings, and the remainder is display.
Space, staffing and lead time by stall size
| Stall size | Footprint | Likely layout | Display | Staff | Visitors at once | Build weeks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 sq.m | 3 × 3 m | Inline or corner | 7.6 sq.m | 2 | 3 | 3 |
| 18 sq.m | 3 × 6 m | Inline or corner | 15.3 sq.m | 2 | 6 | 3 |
| 36 sq.m | 6 × 6 m | Corner or three-side open | 28.8 sq.m | 4 | 11 | 4 |
| 54 sq.m | 6 × 9 m | Corner or three-side open | 43.2 sq.m | 6 | 17 | 5 |
| 72 sq.m | 6 × 12 m | Three-side open or island | 57.6 sq.m | 8 | 23 | 5 |
| 100 sq.m | 10 × 10 m | Three-side open or island | 80 sq.m | 12 | 32 | 5 |
Materials and equipment
We work mainly in fabric-tensioned graphic frames, laminated and spray-finished MDF, aluminium systems and acrylic and backlit panels, with raised platform flooring and track and spot lighting specified where the design or the venue calls for it. Material choice is where cost and appearance meet: a fabric-tensioned graphic reads cleaner than a rigid printed panel and packs smaller, while a laminated joinery finish survives several shows where a painted one does not.
