What it does
A matched group of stands in graduated heights, covered in one material, so a case reads as one composition rather than as assorted props.
Leather on a stand set, specifically
A full set in hide is a single cutting job from a matched batch. Adding a piece later almost never matches, so specify the whole set at the start.
Getting the proportion right
Three to five heights is the usual working set. What matters is the proportion between them, not the absolute sizes.
How leather is applied to a display form
Hide is cut, skived at the edges and wrapped, and grain varies from panel to panel. On a set of risers we cut every piece from the same hide so the set matches, and we say so on the drawing.
Where it is used
Complete case dressing and new shop fit-outs.
Leather under case lighting
Hide reflects softly and unevenly, which is what makes it look expensive and what makes it hard to photograph. It also darkens where it is handled, so an open-counter display in hide develops a patina rather than staying new.
The mistake to avoid
Buying stands piecemeal over years is how a case ends up with four slightly different whites. A set ordered in one run does not have that problem.
Why leather
Leather-covered display carries the grain and the slight colour variation of hide. On a counter it reads as furniture rather than as a prop, and it ages with the shop rather than staying new.
Keep out of direct window sun, which lightens hide unevenly. A conditioner once a year on a piece that stays on show.

Frequently asked questions
Can stand sets be made in our brand colour?
Yes — the leather is matched to a Pantone reference or a physical swatch, and confirmed on a sample.
What sizes do stand sets come in?
They are made to your dimensions. Three to five heights is the usual working set. What matters is the proportion between them, not the absolute sizes.
Is leather a good choice for a stand set?
A full set in hide is a single cutting job from a matched batch. Adding a piece later almost never matches, so specify the whole set at the start.
What goes wrong most often with stand sets?
Buying stands piecemeal over years is how a case ends up with four slightly different whites. A set ordered in one run does not have that problem.
Can stand sets be made to match our boxes?
Yes — the same leather and the same colour across boxes and display, ordered in one run.
