All-Around Viewing With a Clean, Finished Top

Our 4-sided glass cases give visitors a clear view from every side, while a solid top conceals the lighting and reduces glare from overhead gallery lights. They’re ideal for freestanding displays of sculpture, ceramics, costume and other objects viewed in the round. An 1100 mm glass section sits on a 700 mm black powder-coated metal base, with a 200 mm top above.

Key Features

  • Active climate control: an optional integrated MicroClimate Generator holds humidity at your set point (35–75% RH, ±1.5%)
  • LED lighting: available on every size, with an LED pole light in the Tall Square and LED spotlights in the Wide and Extra Wide
  • 4-sided glass: glass on all four sides with a solid top
  • UV protection: laminated safety glass filters 97% of UV light (320–380 nm) and meets the BS EN356 P4A museum glazing standard
  • Security: shock-resistant, anti-theft laminated glass
  • Tightly sealed: air exchange rate of 0.2 per day or less, keeping out dust and pollutants
  • Conservation-safe materials: Oddy-tested fabrics and adhesives, formaldehyde-free MDF and electrostatically coated metals
  • Easy to position: the base sits on adjustable casters, so the case can be rolled into place and lowered

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom size?
Yes. Our standard sizes are a starting point, and we can build to your exact dimensions.

Do I need active climate control?
For humidity-sensitive objects such as wood, textiles, beadwork, paper and metals, or for loans with strict environmental requirements, active control gives the most stable conditions. We’re happy to recommend the right setup for your objects.
