Sustainable innovation at fingertips
Expoprotection Paris is a premier professional trade show dedicated to risk prevention and management. Held every two years, the event attracts decision-makers from around the globe who come to explore the latest trends, meet industry experts, and engage potential suppliers.
A longstanding leader in personal protective equipment, the globally established Japanese company SHOWA is showcasing its full range of high-performance, eco-friendly protective gloves.
FG Design has proudly supported SHOWA at various events for 10 years, overcoming new challenges with each edition.
2024: a year for eco-design
This year, Showa has chosen to highlight its commitment to sustainable development, particularly through its range of biodegradable gloves.
The stand design aimed to embody eco-design principles not only visually but also in its construction, reducing the carbon footprint wherever possible.
Our technical and project teams successfully rose to this challenge, creating a stand that is entirely reusable and recyclable, reaffirming FG Design as SHOWA’s trusted partner.

The FG design creative response
Our approach was to create a custom yet flexible space, capable of reuse at multiple events, with an adaptable surface area from 18 m² to 100 m².
The stand’s airy, open layout used lightweight, self-supporting structures for optimal modularity.
Material choices for furniture, counters, and display cases were carefully selected to ensure durability and sustainability.
High-level, 360° signage and solvent-free printed visuals on removable banners boosted SHOWA’s visibility and reinforced its messaging.
Some panels featured double-sided visuals mounted with silicone joints and separated by foam to reduce noise levels, ensuring high-quality exchanges in the two integrated meeting rooms.
Finally, the entire stand was illuminated with energy-efficient LED lighting.
This stand achieves a balance between aesthetics and sustainability, meeting eco-design standards while providing a premium experience.
It exemplifies FG Design’s expertise in crafting spaces that combine elegance, aesthetics, and environmental responsibility, fully aligned with SHOWA’s values.
