Double Decker Exhibition Stand Designer in Europe
Two-Storey Stands Built for Ambitious Brands
Need more presence on the show floor without a bigger footprint? As an experienced double deck exhibition stand builder, we design two-storey stands that put extra space to efficient use, from hospitality areas to private meeting rooms above the main display. Working as your exhibition stand contractor across Europe, we plan every double-decker build around real venue height limits and load requirements from day one, with a dedicated project manager guiding your stand from concept through to a safe, fully approved installation.

Our Exhibition Stand Design and Build Services
As a double deck exhibition stand company, we start every project with the one variable that decides everything else: the venue. Ceiling height, floor load limits and staircase rules differ from hall to hall, so our double deck exhibition stand design process begins with those constraints.
From there, our designers shape a custom double deck exhibition stand around your brand and your floor plan, balancing an open, visible upper level with a ground floor that still welcomes passing visitors. Staircases, balustrades and headroom are planned from the first concept, not adjusted at the last minute.
For exhibitors who want one team accountable for the whole build, our turnkey double deck exhibition stand solutions bring design, structural planning, fabrication and on-site installation together under a single project lead.
What this includes:
- Two-storey concepts shaped around your venue’s actual height and load limits
- Staircase, balustrade and headroom planning built into every design
- Structural specifications prepared ahead of venue submission
- One project lead managing design through to installation

Why Choose Design Desk
Fresh designs that command attention
Single point solution provider
SMB-Friendly pricing
Design Desk has worked as a double-deck exhibition stand builder across Europe for 21 years, delivering more than 2,500 stands in over 30 countries. Two-storey builds carry their own technical demands, so we factor structural requirements into the design from day one rather than leaving them until the end of the project.
You will see your stand before it is built. We provide free 3D visualisation within 4 to 7 working days, so the layout, staircase position, and upper-level use can be agreed on-screen first. Once a concept is approved, we prepare structural specifications covering materials, dimensions and load, giving you a solid technical reference for venue submission.
A few reasons exhibitors choose us:
- Over 2 decades of experience as an exhibition stand contractor in Europe
- A larger design team, giving you more concepts for a technically complex build
- One dedicated project manager from concept through to installation
- Quality built for ambitious SMEs at sensible, transparent pricing
- Over 2 decades of experience as an exhibition stand contractor in Europe
Because double-deck approval and production both need lead time, we recommend getting in touch 4 to 8 months before your show date.

FAQ
How fast can we turnaround your project, and other common questions
What is a double-deck exhibition stand?
A double-deck exhibition stand is a two-storey structure with an upper level above the main display, often used for meetings, hospitality or VIP space, helping you use the same footprint more effectively
How much ceiling height do I need for a double-deck stand?
Height needs vary by venue, but most halls require greater ceiling clearance than a standard single-level stand. We check your specific venue’s limits early, since this decides what the upper level can include.
Do double-deck stands need special approval from the venue?
Yes. Venues require structural specifications and load information before approving a double-deck build, and review timelines vary by location, so early submission matters.
How far in advance should I plan a double-deck exhibition stand?
Because structural approval and production both take time, we recommend contacting us 4 to 8 months before your show date to keep your options open.
What is the upper level typically used for?
Most exhibitors use the upper level for private meetings, hospitality or VIP hosting, while the ground floor stays open for general visitor traffic and product display.
Can a double-deck stand be reused at different venues?
Yes. A double-deck stand can often be reused, provided the overall design and structural configuration remain suitable for the next venue. Final approval always depends on the venue’s technical regulations, height limits, and structural requirements.
Is a double-deck stand always a custom build, or can it be modular?
Double-deck stands are usually custom-built around your brand and venue, though certain structural elements can be modular and reused across different shows.
Can I rent a double-deck exhibition stand instead of buying one?
Yes. Whether you rent or purchase depends on your exhibiting requirements. We offer both options and will recommend the most practical and cost-effective solution based on how often you exhibit.
What information will you need from me for structural approval?
We typically need your floor plan, intended upper-level use, expected occupant numbers and target venue, which let us prepare structural specifications for submission.
Which parts of Europe do you build and install double-deck stands in?
Our installation experience spans more than 30 countries across Europe, supported by production partners and a project manager who coordinates each stage through to delivery.
