Custom Plinths: When Standard Sizes Aren’t Enough

Custom white matte plinth displaying retail products in store setting

Most of the time, a standard plinth gets the job done. But there are moments when your piece, product, or installation demands something more—whether that’s a unique size, finish, or construction detail. That’s where custom plinths come in.

When to consider a custom plinth

Oversized or heavy works
Large sculptures, stacked product displays, or installations that push the limits of standard tops and heights. Custom plinths can be reinforced internally or widened for stability.

Odd footprints
Not everything fits neatly on a 12" × 12" or 16" × 16" top. Irregular bases, long objects, or multi-part works often need a made-to-measure surface.

Brand activations & events
Custom plinths can be wrapped, painted, or finished to align with brand colors, seasonal campaigns, or event themes. A fleet of matching plinths in your exact palette makes a space instantly cohesive.

Luxury retail & interiors
When detail matters, subtle choices—like wood tone, microcement texture, or seamless corners—make the display feel as elevated as the product itself.

Photography & film
Directors and stylists often require specific proportions to frame objects perfectly. Custom sizing ensures objects read at the right scale on camera.


Custom finishes that make an impact

  • Matte white for neutral, glare-free product photography

  • Birch veneer for warmth and natural character

  • Charcoal or slate for high contrast with pale objects

  • Microcement or Roman clay for architectural, stone-like tactility

  • Paint-matched colors to align with branding or campaign visuals


How the process works

  1. Consultation – Share your object dimensions, weight, and context (gallery, retail, event).

  2. Design & sizing – We recommend top size, height, and material based on use.

  3. Build – Hand-made in Toronto with gallery-grade seams and load-tested strength.

  4. Delivery or shipping – GTA delivery and set-up, or coast-to-coast freight shipping for purchase orders.


The takeaway

Standard plinths work for most installs, but when the scale is unusual or the brand experience calls for something special, a custom plinth makes all the difference. Built to spec, made in Toronto, and finished to your exact needs.
