Island, Corner and Peninsula Stands Designed for Open Sides
The more sides a stand has open to the aisle, the more visitors can see and enter it. An island exhibition stand is open on four sides, a peninsula on three and a corner stand on two. Each needs a different design approach to make use of the visibility.

How Open Sides Change the Design
An inline stand has one face. An island has none that can be treated as a back, so every side needs branding, an entrance and a reason to stop. Storage and meeting areas have to be planned inside the core of the stand.
Open-side stands are chosen for visibility, but visibility only helps if the stand invites people in. Open edges without a clear entry, or an enclosed core that blocks the view through the stand, can make visitors walk past.
What Good Open-Side Design Includes
- Strong branding visible from every approach direction
- Clear entrances so visitors can walk in without barriers
- A central core for storage, meeting rooms or a hospitality counter
- Lighting and height that make the stand readable from across the hall
Inline, corner, peninsula and island
An inline stand sits between neighbours and has one open face. A corner stand has two open sides. A peninsula has three, and an island has four and stands free on the floor. The more sides open, the more design effort goes into the branding and the visitor path, and the higher the space cost usually is.
Our Process
- Check the booth type: We confirm the open sides and height rules with the organiser.
- 3D design: Our 3D design shows the stand from each aisle.
- Build: Fabrication is done in-house in Mumbai.
- Install: Our team builds and dismantles on site.
We design from the aisle. Where will visitors approach from? Which sides will they see first? From there, we position the main signage, the entrance and the product displays so the stand reads clearly from each direction.
Which Booth Type Should You Book?
The right choice depends on budget, goals and the show. Our guide on island vs corner vs inline booths explains the trade-offs before you book space.
Height and structure
Organisers set height limits and rules for hanging structures and truss. A tall header can make an island visible across the hall, but it must stay within what the venue allows. We confirm these limits before design.
Why Exhibitors Choose Us
We design for the aisle view and the visitor path, not only for the render, so the stand works on the floor.
Services such as power and lighting are planned for all sides at once. On open stands, wiring and floor cassettes need to be hidden carefully so the finish looks clean from every angle.

An island is open on four sides and a peninsula on three, with one side backing onto neighbouring booths.
A corner stand is open to two aisles, so it is visible from more directions. Space rates are usually higher, so check the organiser terms.
Sometimes. It depends on the venue rules. See our double decker stand page.
Organisers often set a minimum area for island booths. Check the rules for your show or ask us.
Cost depends on size, finish and structure. Space rates are also higher for open-side booths, so compare the full cost of space plus stand.
Clear entrances, low barriers and a welcoming counter position help. We show the visitor path in the 3D design.
Yes. A closed core is a common way to use the centre of an island for meetings and storage.
