Exhibition Design, Museum Display Cases & Cabinets – Melbourne & Sydney

After many years of providing unique solutions to museum and gallery collections, including the design and manufacture of custom museum display cabinets in both Australia and New Zealand, POD directors Andrew Foster and Tom Ingpen came together to create a company that could assist with the protection and display of artworks and cultural items.

By designing a range of products and services ‘Around the Object’, including high-quality museum display cases, we help ensure artwork, museum objects and fragile items of significance remain protected while they are displayed, stored and transported.

Introducing Frank Showcase System

Frank provides a uniquely engineered museum display showcases

We have Frank

Frank provides a uniquely engineered museum display showcases to designers, architects, museums, private collectors and those needing a protective display solution with an emphasis on flexibility and quality.

However, unlike many other museum exhibition showcase design & manufacturing companies, Frank offers this award-winning patented system whilst remaining affordable.

There is no other comparable glass or acrylic exhibition museum display showcase solution on the market today offering all of the Frank advantages.

Combine the Frank showcase advantages to savings that can be achieved of almost half the cost of a glass museum showcase (of an inferior specification) and you see why Frank museum quality showcases are the international showcase manufacture to specify on your next project.

The Frank company ethos is “affordable perfection” so from the moment you make contact with our friendly team a pleasant journey of showcase design and production starts to unfold. Our team will guide you every step of the way to help bring clarity instead of confusion, test designs and provide samples helping you make all the right choices, whilst keeping within budget.

Frank believes that a display showcase

Frank believes that a display showcase is only a protective layer between the audience and the objects or art and therefore should not compete but fade into the background. However, the only way to truly appreciate the Frank showcase system is to see one in the flesh, when all the precision elements effortlessly come together to produce display showcases in their purest form. If you would like to experience the world of Frank first hand then we would be pleased to hear from you.

Client's Testimonials

TESTIMONIALS

"POD Modular Walls have provided MGA with economical and efficient options for our exhibition design and installation teams. The modular design and simplicity of fixing and securing the walls has allowed MGA to better manage our exhibitions installations. The high quality materials always provide reliable and seamless results. Service and delivery from POD are excellent."

Mark Hislop Operations Manager - www.mga.org.au

"Hamilton Gallery thank POD Services for their invaluable contribution to our highly celebrated exhibition ‘Ah Xian: Axiom’. The quality and beauty of the cabinetry saw the exquisite porcelain and bronze busts by Ah Xian presented to their fullest advantage. This is largely due to the very discreet design of these cases which are subtle and not impeding focus on the artwork. The FRANK Showcase system was extremely easy to work with and took up very little space when stored away. Flawless craftsmanship was delivered together with extraordinary service."

Sarah Schmidt Director - www.hamiltongallery.org

"POD’s Modular Gallery Wall system has been an invaluable investment, allowing us to turn the foyer of our Performing Arts Centre into a versatile and adaptable gallery space with minimal effort and maximum impact. The walls offer the possibility to present professional quality exhibitions in a variety of spaces, allowing the exhibition designer the creativity to configure the space in any number of ways. Their simplicity and sophistication mean that art works presented are given the integrity and focus they merit. There is nothing else like them on the market… I know I looked.

David Burrows Team Leader Arts & Culture - www.basscoast.vic.gov.au

"Bendigo Art Gallery recently worked with POD to commission bespoke mounts and plinths to sit within a range of their Frank cases. From start to finish it was an incredibly easy and stress-free process thanks to the professionalism, care and technical skill that was exhibited by the POD staff. The mounts were perfectly designed to cater for delicate and sensitive objects, and the cases are incredibly streamlined and invisible to allow the viewer to fully experience and focus on the objects. The project required a level of sensitivity due to the nature and history of the objects themselves, and the community members involved in liaising with the gallery to make recommendations for the care and display of the objects were incredibly pleased with the work and care shown by the POD team."
