KLIO Mount Systems
Modular mount systems for museums & exhibitions
Precision you don't see.
The KLIO Mount System is a universal, modular mounting system for the safe, efficient and delicate mounting of objects in museums and exhibitions. Its standardised modular design allows custom, object-specific mounts that meet the highest conservation and design standards.
Based on a system proven thousands of times in museum practice, KLIO offers well-engineered solutions for presenting flat and three-dimensional objects. Despite its wide range of options, the system is easy to use and can be scaled flexibly in size and strength.
Every object needs a secure hold.
KLIO consists of three elements. Scroll down – we'll build a mount.
The Sleeve sits in the plinth.
BASE elements connect the mount to the display case, plinth or wall.
The Staff sets the height.
LINK elements create offsets, angles and precise positions.
The Claw holds the object.
TOP elements hold the object directly on the mount.
Bent, not clamped.
The arms are bent individually and grip the object securely and delicately.
Precision you don't see.
Three elements, endlessly combinable – scalable in size and strength.
What is the KLIO Mount System?
TOP elements hold the object directly on the mount. They are bent individually and grip the object securely and delicately.
TOP
LINK elements connect the TOP and BASE components. They allow offsets, angles and precise positioning of objects.
LINK
BASE
BASE elements connect the mount to display cases, plinths or walls. They receive the TOP and LINK elements and hold the object securely in place.
Custom solutions
Thanks to the standardised modular design of the KLIO system, custom, object-specific mounts can be realised to the highest conservation standards. Different types, special shapes and scalable dimensions allow tailored solutions for almost any object.
The team
Harry Hauck
Object scenography & mountmaking · Berlin
Over the past 30 years, Harry Hauck has planned and supported hundreds of museums at an international level — including at Ralph Appelbaum Associates, one of the world's most renowned exhibition design firms. He was involved in founding id3d·berlin and is regarded as one of the most experienced experts in planning and realising object presentations.
Clemens Kritzer & Stephan Ebert
Adaptiv Exhibition Setup · Vienna
The team didn't learn mountmaking from a textbook, but from thousands of hours in museum galleries. As art handlers and mountmakers with more than 20 years of international project experience, they have helped shape KLIO from the very start — and refined it with every project.
