Designed by Sparks Marketing Group Inc., this exhibit for LG Electronics Inc. includes a fabric header, as well as a white ceiling element that creates a pathway through the 40-by-120-foot booth. Internally lit fabric funnels also highlight product areas throughout the space.

This 60-by-100-foot exhibit for The North Face proves just how versatile fabric structures can be. Here, sound-insulating fabric components comprise the four meeting rooms, presentation theater, and circular "clouds" overhead. Fabric is also used to create tent-like silhouettes. 

Hoping to create a substantial but lightweight structure, Orbus Exhibit & Display Group opted for this ensemble of tensioned-fabric elements that combine to form an open yet enclosed exhibit. The structures define the space and demonstrate Orbus' custom-modular capabilities.

Tensioned-fabric elements in this exhibit include: a central, suspended funnel structure and circular banner; translucent corner panels; and an interior counter/bar.

Today's tensioned-fabric components double as one-off projection surfaces. That's why light-fixture manufacturer Iluminarc opted for this curvalicious structure comprising white scrim. Inside the structure, attendees examine the quality of the light projected from the company's fixtures.

To tout the benefits of Kapidex, an acid-reflux treatment, this exhibitor created the obvious - an iron stomach. But the "iron" is actually silver spandex and mesh fabrics crafted around 2- and 3-inch diameter tubes. A focal point and meeting room, the stomach plays off attendees' gut instincts.
