Enclosed exhibits are often claustrophobic inside, or their exteriors imply a sense of haughty exclusivity. This exhibit dodges both pitfalls with its semi-transparent wall made of laser-cut aluminum panels. While acting as a barrier, it also provides visibility into and out of the exhibit.

While it's still a far cry from Frank Gehry, this exhibit's exterior tension-fabric walls border on the type of Gehry-esque architecture that'll make you stop and stare. The angled, seemingly off-kilter walls seem to defy gravity, soaring to a skyscraper-like height of 22 feet.

With a booth interior as beautiful as this one, you don't need barriers blocking your view. That's why Scan Display Solutions opted for these walls made of glass and aluminum frames. More windows than walls, the structures define the space yet offer an unobstructed peek inside.

One part wall and one part product display, this dramatic fabric wall highlights equally dramatic Italian ceramic tiles. Offset by red fabric panels positioned along the interior, the square cutouts act as windows, each of which displays a unique Italian tile.

Without the water, a faucet is little more than a bunch of pretty pipes. That's why Price Pfister Inc. set up this eye-catching display featuring six of its Ashfield Widespread faucets. The running water created eye-catching movements and soothing sounds, while also demonstrating the faucets in action.

Sometimes you don't need a solid wall to suggest a boundary. These 15-foot-tall columns function as walls while still maintaining multiple sight and access points to the exhibit's interior. Each internally lit column slowly changes colors, morphing from yellow to blue to green to red.
