The stainless steel bollard 45cm brushed finish, a refined detail for precious design objects

In a design museum, every displayed object tells a story of form and material best read up close. The stainless steel bollard 45cm LINE MINI accompanies that experience without ever interfering. Its reduced height and brushed metal finish make it a true scenographic detail: a low bollard that draws a protective boundary around precious objects while keeping the artwork firmly at the centre of attention.

A low-profile format tailored for design objects

At 45cm tall, the MINI format operates in a register that full-height posts simply cannot reach. It borders without dominating pieces displayed at mid-height: collector lighting, designer furniture, prototypes, scale models, ceramics, and showcase objects. Where a 90cm post would cut across the silhouette of a low piece, this stainless steel bollard 45cm draws a boundary at plinth height — just visible enough to signal the distance to respect, never tall enough to enter the object's visual field. It is a finishing bollard, designed for the pieces you protect most closely.

Brushed stainless steel: a material that dialogues with design

The brushed / satin stainless steel finish brings a restrained, contemporary lustre perfectly suited to the world of design. The matte grain of the metal captures light without reflecting harsh glare, avoiding any distracting bright spots near a precious object. This satin appearance harmonises with metal bases, glass display cases, and steel frames found across design collections. The bollard naturally becomes an extension of the scenography — a quality accessory that underlines the care taken in the presentation.

The 6mm semi-elastic rope and its colour range

The bollard accepts a 6mm semi-elastic rope that clips to the top of each MINI, stretching a low, straight, clean line above the floor. Flexible to the touch, this rope does not cause injury and will not trip a visitor who accidentally brushes against it — a key advantage when protecting fragile objects and their supports. Available colours include black, white, grey, red, blue, green, and yellow. To clearly mark a boundary around a valuable object, red or dark grey creates the most legible contrast; a neutral colour will make the line almost disappear, letting the object speak for itself.

Weighted mobile base, repositionable to suit every installation

The MINI rests on a weighted round base Ø36cm, stable despite its compact size, fitted with anti-slip rubber pads that protect the delicate floors of design galleries. This mobile version moves without tools: ideal for temporary exhibitions, object rotations, and the frequent rearrangements typical of design collections. For a long-term display in a fixed position, the MINI FIX floor-mount variant offers an even more discreet alternative.

A modular range to complete your installation

The MINI integrates seamlessly into the full LINE range and shares its accessories. The wall terminal returns the rope to the wall and neatly closes a row along a display case, preventing visitors — particularly children — from accidentally entering the protected zone. The A4 sign holder and acrylic pocket allow a label or instruction card to be added near the object, while the elastic rope by the metre can be ordered to the exact length required. This brushed stainless steel bollard can be combined with full-height LINE models to create a coherent pathway between low objects and wall-mounted works.

Installation guidance

For a design object displayed as a freestanding island, position the MINI posts symmetrically in front of the piece to frame the viewer's gaze and achieve a balanced composition. Maintain a spacing of 2 to 2.5m between two bollards; reduce this to 1.5m if the floor is very smooth or polished, and always keep the rope taut to maintain a perfectly straight low line. A few well-positioned MINI posts are sufficient to encircle a plinth or showcase without weighing down the space.

Discreet, refined, and easy to reposition, the stainless steel bollard 45cm LINE MINI brings precision to the service of precious design objects: it protects without imposing and allows every piece to retain its full presence.
