The design of display cabinets is a balanced art of function and aesthetics, which needs to take into account the practical needs, visual presentation and user experience. Combined with industry standards and actual cases, its core principles can be summarized into the following categories.
Functional principles: exhibit-centered design logic
Scientific space planning
The layout should be dynamically adjusted according to the type, size and number of exhibits, and similar tools or exhibits should be centrally categorized and placed to avoid mixing.1 For example, sufficient space should be reserved for the automotive tool display cabinet to ensure the convenience of tool access, and at the same time, the efficiency should be enhanced through electronic labeling or intelligent search system2. Safety Guarantee.
Materials in contact with cultural relics must be free of harmful gas release, and museum-grade display cabinets often use sealed structures to isolate environmental interference.4 Industrial scenarios need to consider load-bearing stability, such as automotive parts cabinets that need to be adapted to heavy-duty tools.
Optimization of user movement
Layout should guide the visitors' line of sight, for example, through the staggered height of the layered design to highlight the core exhibits, and at the same time the signage system is clear and easy to read12.
