Stand and Build
a fabrication + design studio
Galerie Lelong NYC
Completed: 2018
Location: Chelsea - New York, NY
Project Type: custom exhibition display table, solid hard maple fabrication, precision acrylic vitrine, spray clear coat finish, art handling logistics
For an exhibition presentation at Galerie Lelong in Chelsea, Stand and Build engineered and fabricated a custom vitrine display table. Designed to present delicate artist accordion books and works on paper, the structure required an open, architectural profile that balanced structural rigidity with an understated gallery presence.
Fabricated in our Long Island City facility, the piece features custom sawhorse-style support legs constructed from select solid hard maple, joined with precision mortise connections. The timber components were finished in our spray booth with a protective clear coat lacquer, sealing the natural wood while highlighting the clean maple grain. Topping the timber base, our team fabricated a recessed display surface fitted with an archival, museum-grade clear acrylic vitrine bonnet, engineered with precision solvent-welded seams to safeguard the works on view while ensuring optical clarity.
All timber framework, tabletop components, and the protective acrylic vitrine were prepared in our Queens studio. 1/4-inch polyethylene foam padding, cardboard corners and stretch wrap were used to safeguard the diplay table's safe arrival. Stand and Build handled direct transport to Chelsea and assembled the display table on-site.
