Danish architect Poul Cadovius created the Abstracta modular system in the 1960s to be an elegant, modular display and furniture design that despite its minimalist approach is versatile and sturdy. Since 1998, Consort Corporation has manufactured and sold the space frame display systems to a worldwide market, preserving Abstracta’s reputation for style, strength and service at a price unmatched by any other similar display system.
The original connector version is diecast zinc metal and the newest connector version is composite polymer. Both types of connectors fit all the tubing and accessories that we offer.

Artists have long appreciated the beauty in Abstracta’s simple design. They have come to depend on Abstracta to showcase their own artwork at art fairs and special exhibits. The 13mm (1/2-inch) is lightweight, and because it’s modular, it can be readily set up and broken down at the exhibit site. Now, with our new Cubitz® polymer connectors, art fair set-up and take-down is a breeze! Read more about Cubitz in “Connectors”. All standard tubing and accessories are compatible with Cubitz® Connectors. If you already have Abstracta, Cubitz works with your parts.
Many museums depend on Abstracta to augment their display space, rearranging the different sizes of pedestals and stock units as needed to suit each new exhibit on their calendar. Or they may need a dramatic, permanent display from the units available in our catalog or that we custom design for the space. The open design of Abstracta can define an exhibition space with style and sophistication while allowing artwork and exhibit pieces to take center stage.
Most exhibitors desire easy set-up and take-down displays that simply and effectively showcase products and services. Using the new Cubitz® connectors does exactly that. The 1/2″ tubing modular displays can be arranged in a wide variety of ways for dramatic effect, including large-scale framework, overhead structures and entire wall enclosures. The system is light-weight yet “trade-show durable”. Set up your display in Chicago one week and Los Angeles the next. Shelving and graphics can be quickly added to any display with Abstracta’s accessory clips.
It’s no surprise that architects and interior designers know Abstracta. Whether it’s the touch of unpretentious elegance of cube tables, complete space frames, or a simple shelving piece, Abstracta is ready. After all, Abstracta was designed by Danish architect Poul Cadovius in the 1960s and is now owned by an American architect. Today’s designers recognize the timeless style and utility of Abstracta’s products of pedestals, display units and personal tables to define a space, large or small, while maintaining a sense of openness and beautiful simplicity. The new Cubitz® connectors can also make it “playful”. Try them!
