Mix Material Optical Island

How this case is put together

Mix Material Optical Island is a optical developed for optical chains, independent opticians and eyewear brands. Optical retail needs dense, orderly frame presentation that still lets a customer pick a pair up. Bays are laid out on shelf pitch and tray depth, with lighting that avoids glare on lenses.

The outline is set by the store plan and sits as a island unit with repeatable modules that can be extended in later phases. Frame, panels and glazing are detailed together, so the case arrives as one coordinated unit rather than a cabinet with glass added afterwards.

Layout and configuration

The internal layout is built around how the merchandise is handled: what stays on open display, what sits behind glass, and what needs to be within reach of staff without leaving the counter.

• The unit is built as a repeatable module, so additional bays can be added without changing the detailing.
• Concealed drawers keep spare stock out of the display and reduce handling on the shop floor.
• Locking access is specified at the door and drawer line, with keying and access levels agreed at approval.
• A freestanding body can be repositioned as the floor plan changes, with levelling feet for uneven floors.

Dimensions and fit

No stock size is quoted for Mix Material Optical Island. The case is dimensioned from your plan, the merchandise it holds and the clearance needed to open doors and drawers.

We return a drawing set with the width, depth, height, plinth, shelf pitch and glazing build-up marked. Production starts only after that drawing is signed off.

• Overall width, depth and height fixed on the approved drawing
• Shelf pitch and deck depth set to the merchandise
• Plinth height and aisle clearance checked against the floor plan
• Glazing thickness and door line confirmed on the drawing

Materials, glazing and light

The frame is specified in brushed stainless steel, aluminium or lacquered steel, with white lacquer, veneer or felt-lined back panels for the body. Glazing is tempered glass shelves and framed display doors, and lighting is LED strip above each shelf with low-glare diffusers. Samples of frame and panel finishes are approved before the batch is released.

• Frame: brushed stainless steel, aluminium or lacquered steel
• Body and panels: white lacquer, veneer or felt-lined back panels
• Glazing: tempered glass shelves and framed display doors

Security, storage and service access

Storage is handled with drawer banks for frames and a lockable stock cabinet. Cable routes, drivers and access panels are planned so maintenance does not require dismantling the display.

• Locking doors and drawers keyed to your access levels
• Concealed cable route from the base to each shelf position
• Removable panels for driver and hinge service
