Key Features & Specifications
Compact & Strategic Dimensions
Each box measures exactly 12" (304.8mm) wide, under 3.5" (89mm) deep, and under 2" (51mm) tall with a 13° viewing angle.
When displayed side-by-side with a second Atrium, they beautifully frame most modern, thin-bezel 27" diagonal monitors (24" wide).
We aimed to strike a delicate balance between a minimal footprint and allowing you to view a large collection of artisans at all times.
First-of-its-Kind Front Window
Our unique front "window" ensures that the intricate details of your artisans are always visible, while offering protection from dust, dirt, and light damage.
Thoughtful Design - Deep "counter-engraving" Atrium logo across the back.
- 4 Silicone Keyboard Universalized Feet ("SKUF") on the underside for stability and protection.
- Hidden screw holes under each foot (4 total) for hanging, refinishing, or custom coating.
- Capacity: 3 rows by 12 columns (36 slots) for artisan keycaps.
- Internal Dimensions: 20mm by 20mm base artisan clearance, with internal height clearance for taller artisans (up to 24mm).
- UV Protection: 2mm thick UV-filtering acrylic top lid with a convenient front-lift tab. 5mm extra-thick UV-filtering acrylic front window.
- Weight: Approximately 2.56 lbs. (1.16 kg) when empty, with lids.
|
Prototype Round 1 Finish Options - Black anodized aluminum.
- Raw, untreated aluminum (will oxidize over time).
|
Pricing & Availability
Due to the unique and premium features of Atrium, it is not as affordable to manufacture as other display trays or boxes.
Regardless, we hope to still deliver our product to enthusiasts at an affordable and competitive price point.
We are trying our best to keep the price below $200 per unit (before taxes and shipping).
We are also considering a discount for ordering two matching units.
With enough interest and demand, as well as assessing reasonable packaging options, we hope you'll be thrilled with the value you get.
