Skyline Exhibits has introduced the Envoy™ Exhibit System. Envoy features a sleek aluminum frame and uninterrupted graphic panels that are inset for a clean, finished appearance. Its curved corners and depth give it an elegant presence, yet the slim profile of its frame keeps the focus on graphics. A key requirement during the development of Envoy was to accommodate the increasing use of technology within exhibits. Envoy gracefully carries flat screens and keyboards for presentations and has built-in wire management to conceal connections. “Our goal was to create a system that stayed true to the benefits of modular, but was visually distinct from any other product in the market,” said Scott Roschi, Skyline's Creative Director. “Beyond trade shows, Envoy will be a nice solution for lobbies, retail environments, events and semi-permanent installations like museums,” said Julie Heck, Skyline’s Director of Product Marketing.
