Furniture World Magazine

Interior decorators and crafters have long struggled to find ways to display fabric art without damage or modification to the textile. In the past, presentation of fabric artworks, involved many improper, makeshift displays that compromised the beauty and longevity of the items - until now. Zellerwood Originals of Cincinnati, Ohio has developed an innovative solution called the DisplayAway -- a mantle-like wood unit that cleverly utilizes gravity in harmony with the weight of the item to harmlessly display textile or fabric art. The superior nature of this patented invention was recognized at the 2001 Invention/New Product Exposition (INPEX) held earlier this year. The patented DisplayAway was selected from over two thousand inventions to receive the Gold Medal "Award of Excellence" for the best new invention in the Arts and Crafts category. "We have long felt that the DisplayAway is to fabric and textile art, what the picture frame is to paintings and art prints," says Zellerwood President Hal Zeller. "The INPEX award reinforces that belief." How DisplayAway Works: http://www.DisplayAway.com/howworks.htm: The fabric is simply inserted in front of and beyond the floating, movable rods of the DisplayAway for an instant, safe presentation. Using a versatile self-adjusting and self-induced hold, the DisplayAway will effortlessly secure textiles of different thicknesses, weights and lengths. The DisplayAway is designed to lift the artwork away from the wall to allow for proper breathing and to prevent molds and mildew. The extended shelves also provide a dust hood to protect the top border of the project. DisplayAway comes in a variety of styles and sizes, and each unit is custom crafted from furniture quality hardwood.
