Vertical display, counter and seating: plan your booth space
Determining what fits in a booth takes more than a labeled rectangle for each item. Draw its actual envelope, orientation, use and access. This lets us compare a vertical display, counter or seated meeting while keeping the remaining space visible.
A vertical display occupies its complete footprint, beyond the image face
Mark image orientation, equipment envelope and the entire base. Add model-specific service access and the intended viewer position. If orientation changes, review the base's relationship to the entrance and counter again.
The Peerless-AV KIPC2555 portrait display enclosure illustrates the difference: datasheet LIT-1572 rev.5 lists an overall width of 34.00 in and depth of 20.50 in. Those dimensions let you draw the space occupied by the enclosure as well as the image. For a different enclosure or LED totem, use that model’s dimensions and base.
Once the model, accessories and configuration are identified, the supplier and responsible technical team can review the support and floor conditions. The plan footprint is an input to that review; stability requires assessment of the complete assembly and installation.
Allow space for the counter and displayed product
Request the selected counter's width, depth and height, including projections, doors, drawers and working position. Separately draw the displayed product's envelope and the space needed for its intended use. A plan showing only closed furniture may conceal a conflict when it opens.
For each item, record model, dimension source, orientation, function and outstanding information. Furniture documentation and selection are coordinated with its supplier; AV integration needs these envelopes to avoid assigning the same space to furniture and equipment.
| Item | Envelope to request | Interface to mark |
|---|---|---|
| Counter | Furniture and moving parts | Staff position and internal access |
| Product | Object and proposed presentation | Intended view and use space |
| Vertical display | Equipment, base and accessories | Orientation and service access |
| Storage | Enclosure and opening | Access to stored items |
Compare a seating area with the rest of the layout
A concept option can reserve a table and two seating positions for a conversation. Draw it using actual model dimensions. The IKEA PINNTORP 305.294.67 table used in this example is listed as 125 × 75 cm; that surface excludes chairs, people and approach or standing space.
Place the table toward the back in one option and turn it toward a side in another. Add the selected chairs, room to sit down and stand up, and the routes to review. Compare the entrance and screen view each option preserves. The two seats illustrate a possible use; permitted occupancy requires the review applicable to your event.
Draw storage access together with its enclosure
Identify what needs storage and record actual package sizes. Show door opening and access from the booth. Concealed space must not consume an area that needs to remain clear or close off equipment servicing.
Separate product storage, control access and technical servicing. If a storage wall also integrates a screen, coordinate both envelopes with the suppliers so access to one does not depend on removing the other. If space is insufficient, compare reduced booth storage or an alternative confirmed by the organizer.
Raised floor: add levels and interfaces to the plan
If a raised floor is proposed, record its perimeter, finished level and junctions with entrances and other elements. Use that level as the reference for screen and counter heights. Mark service openings that need coordination with power and signal suppliers.
The staging supplier and project team use those dimensions to review structure and access. In the U.S., the U.S. Access Board’s accessible routes guide helps prepare that review; confirm which requirements apply to the project. Elsewhere, consult local requirements. Develop the access solution together with the floor and the complete route.
Frequently asked questions
Is screen diagonal enough to position a vertical display?
We also need the selected model's enclosure, base, accessories and service access. The diagonal describes the image, not the complete assembly footprint.
Will two chairs fit if the table fits on the plan?
Add the actual chair model, its space in use, people and applicable routes. Table size alone does not resolve the layout.
Can we store items behind the screen?
Storage can be reviewed separately from service access, with supplier and show conditions confirmed. Keep maintenance space available.
Are these models available from GLMedia?
Ask us about your date and intended use. These models are dimension examples; a proposal requires confirmation of equipment, supplier, availability and service scope.
