Exhibition hall with rows of stands under a glass roof

Your dream, we bring it to life.

Exhibition stands, interiors and event spaces, designed and built by CKS Designs. From the first briefing to the last light on the stand, anywhere in South Africa.

Exhibition stands across South Africa Scroll

Simple to sophisticated, but never ordinary. We design stands that help our clients hit their sales targets on the expo floor, and we make every rand of the budget work harder.

A creative team, start to finish

We walk the journey with you: briefing sessions, concept designs, presentations, production, project management and virtual meetings. One team carries the idea from sketch to the show floor.

Any size, every province

Small system stands, custom designs, large custom builds and full pavilions. We cover all areas of exhibitions in South Africa, and we believe no project is too small or too big with proper planning.

Collaboration is key

Good stands come from good conversations. You see the 3D concept before anything is built, and you know who to call at every step of production and installation.

From render to reality.

Every stand starts as a 3D design proposal. Pick a client to see the concept we presented next to the stand we built.

    How a stand comes together.

    01

    Briefing

    We sit down with you to understand the show, the audience, the budget and the sales target the stand has to deliver.

    02

    Concept and design

    Our designers turn the brief into a 3D concept, floor plan and graphics that fit your CI.

    03

    Presentation

    You walk through the renders with us, in person or in a virtual meeting, and we refine until it is right.

    04

    Production

    Joinery, structures, furniture, lighting and print are produced to the approved design.

    05

    Project management

    One point of contact keeps venues, deadlines and suppliers on track so you can focus on the show.

    06

    Installation

    We build on site, light it, dress it and hand over a stand that is ready for your first visitor.

    Interiors and events.

    The same eye for detail, applied to hotels, shops, boardrooms, homes and gala events.
