A low, flat-topped base or platform used to support and elevate a display object, product, or sculptural element within an exhibit or installation environment. Plinths are typically simple geometric forms, rectangular or square in plan, and are fabricated from wood, metal, acrylic, or stone depending on the aesthetic requirements of the project. Their height, proportion, and finish are calibrated to the scale and weight of the object being displayed and the overall design language of the surrounding environment.
