Exhibition Stand Design & Build
Foundry Studio is a UK-based design and build studio specialising in bespoke exhibition stand design for brands and commercial clients. We design, manufacture, and install custom exhibition stands entirely in-house, allowing us to control quality, materials, and delivery from concept through to installation. Our approach combines considered design with practical build knowledge, ensuring each stand is visually impactful, structurally sound, and suited to the demands of live exhibition environments. Working closely with clients, we create exhibition spaces that clearly communicate brand values while being efficient to transport, assemble, and reuse across multiple shows.
Designed and manufactured under one roof
Bringing design and manufacture together allows us to approach exhibition stand projects with a clear understanding of how each element will be built, transported, and installed. Design decisions are informed by real-world build considerations from the outset, resulting in stands that are efficient to produce and straightforward to install on site.
Close collaboration between design and workshop teams enables technical details to be resolved early and materials and finishes to be refined during manufacture. This integrated way of working reduces risk, avoids unnecessary complexity, and ensures the finished stand performs as intended in a live exhibition environment.
Working under one roof also gives us the flexibility to respond quickly to evolving briefs or venue requirements, delivering bespoke exhibition stands that balance visual clarity with practical performance.

Our approach to exhibition stand design and build
We provide a complete exhibition stand design and build service, working with brands, agencies, and commercial teams across the UK. From early design development through to manufacture and on-site installation, every stage is handled in-house to ensure clarity, consistency, and build quality.
Our service typically includes concept design, technical detailing, material specification, and full stand manufacture, followed by installation at the exhibition venue. Designing and building under one roof allows us to create stands that are both visually considered and practical to assemble, transport, and reuse.
Each exhibition stand is developed in response to the specific brief, exhibition environment, and brand requirements — whether that involves a one-off stand or a modular system designed for multiple shows. Throughout the process, we focus on durability, efficiency, and finish, ensuring the completed stand performs as well in use as it does visually.
Collaborative from the outset
→ Discovery & briefing
Every exhibition stand project starts with a clear understanding of the brief, the brand, and the environment it needs to perform in. We work closely with clients and partners from the outset to ensure design decisions are purposeful, achievable, and aligned with the wider exhibition strategy.
Built with quality and longevity in mind
→ Design & manufacture decisions
Our exhibition stands are designed and manufactured with durability, finish, and repeat use in mind. Materials, construction methods, and detailing are considered early to ensure the stand performs reliably across transport, installation, and live exhibition use.
Reliable delivery and installation
→ Programme management & install
Exhibitions run to fixed deadlines, and we plan accordingly. From manufacture through to on-site installation, we manage timelines carefully and coordinate each stage to ensure the stand is delivered, installed, and ready when it matters most.
A clear and adaptable process
→ Flexibility within a defined structure
Our design and build process provides structure without rigidity. Each exhibition stand is developed to suit the specific brief, venue requirements, and programme, allowing us to adapt where needed while maintaining control over quality and execution.

"The Foundry Studio were a pleasure to work with on our pop-up at Selfridges. The team supported us in bringing our brand to life in a unique space through their expertise in design and material selection. The install team were highly professional and great to work with on site and we’re looking forward to collaborating on future projects".
