Poster Stand
Canary Wharf
London
1994


"Buoys"
Poster stands for shop units


Brief
Existing poster stands were to be replaced because they easily tipped over and looked messy when not aligned with the mall.

Proposal
"Buoy" is a cylindrical object made from clear polycarbonate. It has a hemispherical base filled with concrete that is heavy enough to keep the object upright even if knocked off balance.
Posters are attached to a thin polycarbonate sheet. The sheet is then inserted inside the cylinder holding the poster in place.
