Fiorino Design created the Zig Zag magazine and newspaper fixtures for the Ink news and gift shop at Pearson Airport’s Infield Terminal.

Design criteria included: creating dramatic, eye-catching magazine and newspaper holders that would engage customers in a high-traffic airport concession; accommodate 12 to 14 different magazine or newspaper facings; be ergonomically comfortable and visually accessible without creating a barrier within the small space; and be easily mobile.

The magazine fixture has a two-foot-square base and stands almost five feet high. The newspaper fixture is shorter, but wider to hold broadsheets. The fixtures are made of one-eighth-inch-thick steel finished in two-tone epoxy. Satin-finished stainless steel makes up the support posts and rail kick base, which in turn conceals heavy-duty casters.

Schleeh: This has a fun, engaging quality.
