Mannequin Bases and Stability in Small Shops

Published 30 August 2026 · 4 min read

A wide base is a second island. Specify remaining walk. We do not publish a load rating for the form.

Mannequin bases and stability in small shops is one story from the door — remaining walk. Independent retailers in Thailand put a weighted form in the first two metres because the lookbook used one. The shops that still walk keep one form after decompression and specify a base that does not steal the aisle.

We do not invent kilogram ratings, tip tests, or warranties. Name the form, the base type, and remaining walk on the quotation.

How many mannequins is the count. Realistic vs abstract is the look. Window is the glass story. This page is the foot of the form.

What the base is for

A form needs to stand without becoming a trip. A wide disc in a 30 sqm shop is a second island — aisle width, island vs perimeter. A tiny unseen foot still needs remaining walk named.

On the floor. One story after decompression — layout. Not a crowd. Opening priority: wrap and walk before a third form.

In the window. One story, not the size run. Base must not block the door swing.

Not a rolling rack with a torso. Casters need locks — rolling racks. A mannequin is not receiving.

Mall sightlines may own the form in the opening — landlord, outdoor / common area. We do not invent approval.

Kids: a child-height form still owes adult walk and a stroller path.

Finish of the base should not introduce a fifth metal — chrome vs powder coat.

Common mistakes

  • Form in the first two metres.
  • Catalogue kilogram as the spec.
  • Three forms plus a four-way.
  • Base so wide the only aisle dies.

What belongs on the quotation

  1. Form count — usually zero or one on the floor.
  2. Base type named — remaining walk after the disc.
  3. Window vs floor — named.
  4. No invented load or tip rating.
  5. Language of the document, Thai or English.

Send shop type and floor width. That is enough to specify a base instead of a trip in the door.

One story, remaining walk after the base

If you are placing mannequins in Thailand, start with count and walk. Send the shop type, the size, and the opening month through the fixture plan form. We will return one fixture schedule and one written quotation — Thai or English — covering the form, the base, and the walk.

Common questions

What load rating do you publish for mannequin bases?
None. We name the form, the base, and remaining walk. We do not invent kilograms or warranties.
Can the mannequin stand in the door?
No. First two metres stay empty. One story after decompression.
Three mannequins in 40 sqm?
Usually no. One floor story. A crowd plus a four-way is a forest.
Does a small foot mean we can skip remaining aisle?
No. Remaining walk still belongs on the quotation.
