Category: Thermoformed Plastic Counter, Shelf or Table Unit
Comments: The design requires that the display hold a set of headphones and a portable CD player in a secure, but accessible position for easy trial of the product. The head is vacuum formed in the center of heavy-gauge styrene. The display includes a wire retractor system in an extruded track.

Category: Rotationally/Blow-Molded Plastic Counter, Shelf or Table Unit
Comments: Due to the interactive nature of the display, as well as the young age of Pico's target market, the display had to protect the product and the 13-inch monitor. By rotationally molding three main components and employing Pico's bright colors, an inviting -- as well as durable -- environment was created.
