Demountable stand for Cecilia Plaza’s calendar

The project

Cecilia Plaza needed a stand to display her illustrated calendar. At Archicercle, we created a solution specifically for this commission: a two-piece stand that slots together and can be taken apart for storage or transport.

The studio’s contribution focused on the stand and the development of its demountable joint. Cecilia Plaza’s illustrated calendar was the starting point; in response to that need, we developed a structure made from two interlocking flat pieces, forming a base and an inclined support.

The slot-fit connection allows the stand to be assembled without adhesive and its components to be separated again. It works through the relationship between the geometry of the pieces and the weight of the supported object, which contributes to the balance of the assembly.

Although created for the calendar, the stand is also proposed for phones, tablets or books. Its use with a phone is documented, while the other applications extend the possibilities of the same solution without changing the purpose of the original commission.

The joint connects the two pieces and allows the stand to be taken apart for storage or transport.
