Exhibition stand design: see your stand before we build it.

We design your exhibition stand in photorealistic 3D, and our own team builds and assembles it on site, wherever the show is. Three deep dives below show how a Show Off stand actually comes to life.

Three projects, three different approaches

How we did it for HAV, Renas and Eagle.

Every project starts with one question: what is this stand meant to achieve at this particular show? The rest follows from there. Here are three deep dives that show how we think, design and deliver.

Case 01

HAV Group
One brand, four companies, one expression.

Multi-brandIlluminated logoWide stand

The challenge

HAV Group is four companies: Norwegian Electric Systems, Norwegian Greentech, HAV Design and HAV Hydrogen. The stand had to show all four without burying HAV itself.

The solution

We built a wide, deep blue stand with a large lit HAV logo at one end. The four companies got their own logo row across the front, making it clear that HAV pulls them together under one roof. Inside, we placed an open meeting area with screens.

The result

The stand was easy to find from a distance, and visitors could see what HAV does before walking in. All four companies got room without weakening the HAV umbrella.

Case 02

Renas
When the material is the message.

SustainabilityMaterial-ledSeating zones

The challenge

Renas works in the circular economy. The stand had to show that in the actual building materials, not just in the copy on the walls.

The solution

We used pallets as walls, OSB panels on the floor and built the seating areas in wood with rounded, organic shapes. Everything visitors saw and touched was reused material. The concept landed in the first meeting and stayed put all the way through.

The result

People sat down and stayed. The stand worked more as a meeting place than a display, and the sustainability message came across clearly without long copy on the walls.

Case 03

Eagle Technology
Clean Future, from every angle.

Curved canopyLED and videoCorner stand

The challenge

Eagle wanted “Clean Future” to be easy to spot from anywhere in the hall, without the stand itself stealing attention from the message.

The solution

We built a curved, lit overhead ring with “Clean Future” running all the way around, visible from every angle. On the walls, we installed full-height video screens with ocean footage that wrapped around the corner.

The result

The stand was easy to pick out from a distance. The main message was the first and last thing people saw, without us having to fill the walls with text.

Show Off design process

Five steps, one predictable path.

You should never wonder where the project stands. Every phase is dated and signed off with you before we move on.

1
Brief
Goals, audience, hall, budget. Meeting at your office or ours in Sandnes.
2
Concept
Sketches, material choices and spatial approach. You pick a direction before we 3D-model.
3
3D render
Photorealistic renders from every angle. You see the stand before we build it.
4
Production
We build the stand on site with our own team. Quality and finish are controlled throughout.
5
Assembly
We rig and dismantle at the show. All of Norway, Europe on request.

We handle every step

From first sketch to a finished stand.

1
Design concept
Idea, spatial approach, material choice, branding. We build the concept before the stand.
2
3D visualization
Photorealistic renders from every angle. You adjust lighting, materials and branding before production.
3
Production
Our own team builds the stand on site. Wood, metal, print, lighting, LED and custom solutions.
4
Assembly and dismantling
We rig and dismantle. You arrive to a finished stand and leave behind an empty space.
5
Freight and storage
We store the stand between shows so it can be reused next season.
Why Show Off

Offices in Stavanger and Oslo, assembling wherever the show is.

  • Everything under one roof

    Design, 3D, production, assembly, freight and storage. You deal with one team, not three subcontractors.

  • Established 2017

    We have built exhibition stands for companies in maritime, energy, cleantech, tech and the public sector.

  • We travel with the stand

    Across Norway and Europe. When the show is abroad, we are there for assembly and dismantling.

Frequently asked questions.

Pricing depends on size, materials, lighting, video and whether the stand will be reused. We give an open estimate after the first brief, not a packaged offer.

Typically 6 to 12 weeks, depending on size and whether the stand is built from scratch or based on existing modules. We always plan backwards from your show date.

Yes, and across Europe. We have assembled stands in Germany, Italy and the UK. Logistics and assembly are part of the deliverable.

Yes. Our team rigs the stand, adjusts everything before doors open, and dismantles when the show ends. You arrive to a finished stand.

Yes, and we recommend it. We design for reuse when the brief allows, store the stand between shows, and update branding between each use.

We design in photorealistic 3D before production, so you see the stand before we build it. And we cover the whole journey with our own team, from first sketch to finished assembly at the show.

Exhibition stand design is the concept and 3D visualization that defines how the stand will look and function. Stand build is the physical production and assembly. Show Off delivers both, but you can also engage us for design only.
