In the world of interior design and retail merchandising, the way we showcase products and art can make or break a space. Gone are the days of bulky, wall-mounted cases that clutter and constrain. Enter modern suspension systems: sleek, invisible supports that let your displays float effortlessly, drawing the eye to what truly matters—your premium items. At Nova Display Systems, we’ve pioneered cable and rod suspension solutions that blend innovation with elegance, transforming ordinary spaces into captivating showcases. Whether you’re curating a high-end jewelry collection, highlighting museum artifacts, or elevating a boutique’s window display, our systems offer the perfect balance of functionality and style.
Why Suspended Showcases Captivate
Suspended showcases aren’t just a trend; they’re a revolution in display technology. Traditional fixtures often feel static and intrusive, competing for attention rather than enhancing it. Suspension systems, however, create a sense of weightlessness. Imagine crystal-clear acrylic cases hovering mid-air, illuminated shelves suspended like jewels from an invisible thread, or framed art drifting in a gallery space. This “floating” effect maximizes visual impact while preserving an open, airy feel—ideal for retail stores, offices, museums, and homes.
Nova Display Systems has been at the forefront since 2000, crafting solutions that prioritize versatility and durability. Our systems support everything from delicate collectibles to heavy merchandise, all while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic that complements any environment.
Our Premium Suspension Systems: Cable vs. Rod
At the heart of our hanging showcases are two flagship suspension types: cable and rod systems. Both are precision-engineered from premium solid brass and stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance. Here’s how they compare:

Cable Suspension Systems
Our cable displays are the epitome of subtlety. Using ultra-thin aircraft-grade cables (available in 1.5mm or 3mm diameters), these systems can support up to 120 kg (264 lbs) for 1.5mm cables and 200 kg (441 lbs) for 3mm per suspension point. They’re perfect for creating dynamic, multi-level displays that weave through a space like a spider’s web—discreet yet strong.
- Key Features — Adjustable tension for perfect alignment, easy ceiling-to-floor or ceiling-to-counter installations, and compatibility with acrylic pockets, shelves, cases, cubes, and graphic panels.
- Load Capacity — Up to 200 kg per point, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
- Customization — Pre-configured kits for quick assembly, or bespoke setups for intricate designs.
Cable systems excel in applications like window displays or trade show booths, where flexibility is key.

Rod Suspension Systems
For a bolder, more architectural statement, our rod displays use 6mm and 10mm stainless steel rods that offer even greater rigidity and a contemporary edge. These are tensioned for stability, supporting framed art, shadow boxes, or locking showcases with ease.
- Key Features — Higher load-bearing for heavier items (up to 200 kg per rod), sleek finishes in stainless steel or satin chrome plated brass, and seamless integration with rail/track mounts.
- Load Capacity — Comparable to cables but with enhanced torsional strength for larger panels and showcases.
- Customization — Adjustable-angle setups for privacy screens or room dividers.
Rod systems are a favorite in galleries and corporate offices, which secure valuables while creating a floating, tamper-proof presentation.
Both systems come in basic kits with top fixings, grippers, and bottom supports, but we specialize in custom variations—think satin acrylic for diffused lighting or matte finishes for a softer glow.
Our Showcase Accessories: Elevating Your Displays
What sets Nova apart isn’t just the suspension—it’s the ecosystem of premium accessories designed exclusively for our systems. Our acrylic showcases and shelves are crafted from 1/4″ to 1/2″ thick clear or frosted material, ensuring crystal clarity and durability.
- Acrylic Showcases and Cubes — Locking cases for jewelry, watches, or collectibles, suspended to create a “floating cube” effect. Perfect for museums or high-end retail.
- Suspended Shelves — Drilled or slotted glass/acrylic shelves (up to 1/2″ thick) for merchandising fabrics, books, or brochures. Our cable suspended glass shelving pairs beautifully with showcases for layered displays.
- Literature and Poster Holders — Easy-swap options for signage, maps, or graphics, keeping your messaging fresh without tools.
- Clothing Rails — Integrated rails for garments, turning a simple suspension into a full merchandising solution.
These components are tool-free where possible, with interlocking designs for hassle-free assembly. Plus, they’re versatile across industries: beauty for cosmetics towers, optical for eyewear walls, or hospitality for menu displays.
Real-World Impact: Where Nova Excels
Our systems are transforming spaces globally. In a recent museum project, we used cable-suspended glass showcases to highlight artifacts, creating an immersive exhibit. Retailers rely on our rail/track tensioned setups for damage-free art displays, while offices use rod systems for stylish privacy screens that double as decor.
Our solutions scale effortlessly—from a single shelf for a pop-up shop to full ceiling-to-floor partitions for a hotel lobby. Plus, with recyclable stainless steel and minimal hardware, our displays align with eco-conscious values.
