We design and build furniture and displays. We do Point Of Purchase, Trade Show displays and environments out of wood, metal and plastics... we use the technology of CAD-CAM and the internet to communicate with you using rendered drawings. Then we communicate with N/C routers, Lasers, water-jet cutters and yes, humans to execute your orders.

This use of our heads in concert with technology gets your project to you precisely, quickly and keeps your costs down by 1] applying thoughtful design 2] using the appropriate materials, processes and technologies. 3] simple, usually no-tools assembly for you or your customer. 4] ships-flat keeps transport costs down.

We communicate, we design, we manufacture, we deliver...and we bring our no-tools, often no fastener, fold-up, knockdown spirit to every project... and we guarantee innovation.

Top pic: Nikwax' booth for the Munich show 2013. Bottom pic: Outdoor Retailer, summer '11 Nikwax won the BOB [best of booth] award for eco and easy... for their -- well, ecologically sound [made from sustained yield FSC plywood with zero VOC finish] and easy to erect booth. Seems over a day was cut from time to assemble the previous booth.

Origami inc worked closely with Nikwax to get the feel just right. We incorporated the wheeled crate that everything travels to the show in into the display -- now the Nikwaxers don't have to wait for its removal and re-delivery at the end of the show. Can you spot the crate? neither can we... It's in behind providing support and show-storage until take-down.
