Three-Plate Display Stand, 80x100x120mm

A stand for three plates, overall size 80x100x120 mm, without a price tag holder. An inclined platform with three lengthwise strips; at the front the edge is bent down and acts as the base, at the back there is a tall wall tilted backwards. The design is as simple as it gets: the fewer parts it has, the fewer places for tableware to catch on.

Why the platform is inclined

A plate standing upright shows the customer its edge. The incline turns it face-on and at the same time shifts its weight onto the back wall, so the plate stands rather than balances.

Three places, one line

• lengthwise strips divide the platform into equal bands;
• the plates stand at the same spacing and at the same angle;
• the front bend covers the edge of the sheet and adds rigidity.

Smooth glaze slides on smooth acrylic, so here the strips hold the bottom edge of each plate in its place.

How to choose the size

Measure the rim and depth of the plate, not its diameter: on an inclined platform a deep bowl sits differently from a flat plate of the same diameter. It is best to build a row from tableware of one type, so the line stays even.

Care

Glass cleaner is a no-go for acrylic: ammonia eats into the surface and leaves a network of micro-cracks that polishing can no longer remove.

Wash with warm water and a mild detergent using a lint-free cloth, and wipe damp. Dry wiping charges the surface with static, and dust settles more heavily. Full guide: caring for acrylic products.

The stand belongs on a counter, display case or shelf on a tableware shop floor. It is bent from a single sheet of acrylic along a heated line: no joints, screws or glued seams that come apart over time.

Production time: 3-7 days.
