Frequently asked questions

You're probably wondering…

SILMO packs new collections from around the world into a handful of aisles. To capture attention, you need an exhibition space that presents frames as objects of desire, with lighting and display worthy of a premium boutique rather than a standard trade show display.

SILMO Paris gathers more than 900 companies across 75,000 m². To stand out, a recognisable scenographic approach from the aisle entrance often does more than sheer spending. We start from your brand identity to create a stand that is identifiable from afar.

With 52% of visitors coming from abroad, the stand has to lead with image and product presentation rather than long texts in French. We design spaces where collections and innovations can be read at a glance, whatever language the visitor speaks.

Many SILMO exhibitors want to show their collections to the public and, at the same time, host distributors for more confidential meetings. We plan for clearly separated zones: an open showcase for the collections, and more enclosed meeting spaces for professional conversations.
