how the abstracta modular display system works

The Abstracta system combines steel tube lengths, metal alloy connectors and steel accessories to form structured units utilizing shelving and panels. The result is a wide spectrum of applications from the simplicity of a cube to the

complexity of a complete exhibition hall.

Abstracta is available in 13mm (1/2”) diameter tubes, allowing for most any configuration utilizing 90º connections. The stock units shown in this catalog are 13mm.

stock units & modified stock units

100% recyclable, Abstracta is a marriage of metal, wood and glass to make an eco-friendly presentation. Choose from stock units or let us help you design fixtures tailored to your specific needs.

Stock designs are available in a variety of finishes and come with or without glass. Other shelving options such as wood, mirrored glass and acrylic can be custom ordered. The design of any stock unit can easily be modified to meet your display or furniture needs or to accommodate graphics.

curved tubes

A curved tube with any given part number will connect with two standard straight tubes of the same part number to create a quarter circle (see illustration).

custom design services

From the unique and innovative to the classic and simple, Abstracta brings your concepts to life quickly and elegantly. Whether the job is building brand awareness or maximizing available space, Abstracta is the perfect solution. Our design service is available to assist with your ideas for special displays or furniture configurations. Abstracta will provide one hour of complimentary design time for simple modifications to stock designs. More complex changes or custom configurations may incur a $50 per hour fee with a $25 (30 min.) minimum charge.

when planning your design, consider the following:

floor space - What width and depth of floor space is available? Do you want access to the unit from more than one side? How large do you want shelves or horizontal surfaces?

overall height - Consider sight lines and shelf accessibility. Do you require a graphics holder or other signage on the unit? What are you placing on the top shelves?

vertical specifications - Consider the height between the shelves, will the displayed merchandise fit comfortably?

finishes - Available finishes for Abstracta shown on page 11.

assembly

With a nylon mallet and a hard surface, the system can be assembled quickly and easily. We encourage the use of the Abstracta Nylon Mallet (913) for assembly, the Abstracta Disconnect Tool (915) and Extractor Rod (EX-ABS) for taking units apart. A 10% discount will be applied to these three items when purchased with a stock, modified or custom unit. We recommend using a small amount of non-corrosive lubricant on the connectors prior to assembly.

brief history

introduction

Combinations of Tube Lengths

Abstracta is a mathematical system of tubes in corresponding lengths to fit various applications. Add two part numbers to determine a third existing tube part number.

For example: in the 13mm system a #200 tube (7.28”) plus a #395 tube (15.08”) with a connector in between (1/2”) is equivalent to an existing #595 tube (22.87”).

Popular combinations include:

Curved Tubes

A curved tube with any given part number will connect with two standard straight tubes of the identical part number to create a quarter circle (see illustration).

Units A,B,C and D must be connected to another A,B,C or D unit by using the S-clips to form towers and/or accordian style arrangements. The connections allow for structural integrity and vertical stability.

Units E and F can be constructed using the 4T connectors and 130 tubes as feet thereby creating a free standing unit. The above kits will contain ample components to construct the styles as shown.

For more versatility, graphic exhibition kits are available in three sizes.

15.10C = curved tube

combination of tube lengths Abstracta is a mathmatical system of tubes in corresponding lengths to fit various applications. Add two part numbers to determine a third existing part number.

For example: a #200 tube (185mm) plus a #395 tube (383mm) with a connector in between (13mm) is equivalent to an existing #595 tube (581mm).

Popular combinations include:

65 + 145 = 210 130 + 330 = 460 345 + 460 = 805 130 + 200 = 330 200 + 395 = 595 395 + 410 = 805



glass, connectors & tubes

glass shelves

Glass is the most cost effective and popular solution. However, many other materials such as mirrored glass, acrylic and wood shelving and tops can be purchased. You may order stock units with or without glass shelving or request custom shelving.

All stock glass is pencil polished edged (PPE) and 5mm in thickness. All stock glass is tempered with the exception of the 1515C. Custom ordered glass is non-tempered and seamed edged only, unless tempered and PPE is specifically requested.
