Truss Podiums with Simple, Contemporary Style

Metal Truss Podiums in Curved and Straight Designs

When it comes to minimalism, it’s hard to get closer to the bare essentials than truss podiums, which get their name from the bridge-like structure of connected metal posts that make up the frame. Made from a few pieces out of a sturdy material like steel or aluminum (or a combination of the two), these lecterns eschew flourishes and extra features for unrivaled simplicity and reliability. Of course, that’s not to say they don’t have style. Inspired by structural architecture, these presentation stands embody the industrial style so popular in today's contemporary interiors. While the industrial look is an aesthetic all its own, albeit one that tends to work in a lot of different environments, these truss podiums are equally at home in a lecture hall as they are at an awards ceremony or auditorium hosting a speaking engagement.

Why Choose a Truss Podium?

• Heavy Duty Build — Because truss podiums are made from metals that can take a beating, they hold up well to frequent use and moving on and off-stage. The tubing supports, foot, and reading platform are welded together into one structure for a solid build that is both strong and long-lasting.
• Unobtrusive Style — Contemporary styling demands visibility and simplicity, both of which are elegantly embodied by truss podiums. Compared to big, bulky lecterns and pulpits of the past, these see-through designs are a breath of fresh air, opening up sightlines and all but blending in with your interior decor.
• Iconic Design — Sometimes it all comes down to looks, and the best way to describe these lecterns is the simplest: they just look great.
