Display Storage Cabinets

CSI cabinets have been used for a variety of collections around the world for over 20 years.  They are integral parts of many collections ranging from rare books to Asian textiles to a large variety of precious decorative arts to military artifacts.

As museum storage specialists, we designed and engineered our Display Storage Cabinets with glass doors from a museum's standpoint rather than adapting an existing cabinet.  As a result they combine full visibility with utmost security and control. This storage solution is intended for exhibition level visual access and is engineered with the structural integrity of permanent collections storage. For example, the inert, anodized aluminum we use is maintenance free.  There are no surfaces to outgas, eliminating potential hazards to your collection.

Changing objects and artifacts is seamless. Our sliding door movement was engineered for smooth, precise movement that facilitates fast changing with maximum safety. Individual cabinets can be fitted with shelving and cabinets can be assembled on-site, as your needs require.

The combination of these materials and manufacturing techniques from our aerospace design background make this cabinet an ideal solution for virtually any collection.
