Matrix Connected Exhibition System – modular exhibition construction without tools

The Matrix Connected Exhibition System positions itself as a logical further development of modular frame and wall systems for exhibition construction. At its heart is a newly developed corner connector that enables tool-free assembly of large-format structures while ensuring both stability and flexibility. The system is aimed equally at trade fair builders and exhibitors who want to assemble their stands independently, efficiently, and reproducibly.

Plug connectors as the central design principle

At the heart of the Matrix Connected system is a self-locking plug connector that requires no tools whatsoever. The connection locks automatically and ensures a precise, dimensionally stable connection between the profiles. This allows frame constructions of variable sizes to be created without the need for additional connecting elements or special solutions. A key feature is the ability to create frame structures with heights of up to six meters. This principle offers significant advantages, especially in trade fair construction, where construction heights, statics, and assembly times play a central role. The structure can be assembled by trained stand personnel or by the trade fair constructor themselves, which saves time and reduces dependence on external assembly service providers.

Tool-free assembly and practical benefits

The absence of tools is not purely a convenience feature, but a functional advantage in everyday trade fair life. Transport, assembly, and disassembly are simplified, sources of error are minimized, and assembly times are significantly reduced. At the same time, the system remains stable enough to implement even large-scale and multi-story stand concepts. For exhibitors, this means greater planning reliability: the stand can be tested in advance, adapted, and changed at short notice if necessary. This flexibility is a decisive factor, especially at international trade fairs or when stand areas change.

Integrated lighting solutions with minimal construction depth

In addition to the frame construction, lighting plays a central role in the Matrix-Connected system. A newly developed textile light box profile with a visible width of only a few millimeters is being presented. The aim of this design is to achieve uniform illumination right up to the edge of the motif, without disturbing shadows or visible frames. The shallow depth opens up new design possibilities: illuminated surfaces can be seamlessly integrated into walls, corners, or freestanding elements. Visually, this creates the impression of a continuous, flat light graphic, which is particularly relevant for brand appearances with high design standards.

Modular system for different stand concepts

Matrix Connected is not limited to a specific type of stand. The system can be used for both small, compact presentation areas and large-format exhibition stands. Thanks to the modular grid, elements can be reused, supplemented, or recombined without changing the basic system. Typical application scenarios are:

• Classic row and corner stands with textile wall surfaces
• Large illuminated walls with integrated graphics
• Free-standing frame constructions with heights reaching up to the hall area
• Combined stand concepts with open and closed areas

Classification in current trade fair construction

Trade fair construction has been undergoing change for years: reusability, short set-up times, and flexible systems are becoming increasingly important. Matrix Connected specifically addresses these requirements and combines them with a constructive solution that does not require complex technology. In particular, the self-locking corner connector represents a technical approach that replaces classic screw or clamp connections. In combination with slim lighting profiles, the result is a system that combines functional requirements with design demands.

Conclusion

The Matrix Connected exhibition system represents a pragmatic, modular approach to modern exhibition stand construction. Tool-free assembly, high construction heights, integrated lighting solutions, and a clearly structured system grid enable flexible stand concepts with a high degree of reusability. The system thus addresses the key challenges of current exhibition appearances and offers a robust basis for recurring, scalable stand solutions.
