Places where you can meet a display mannequin

Abstract mannequins are currently fashionable - they are distinguished by only slightly outlined facial features, no exact reproduction of the human anatomy and no accessories such as make-up or a wig. We can see them particularly often in clothing shops. However, this does not change the fact that the possibilities of shaping exclusive mannequins are almost limitless, and the tongue-in-cheek reference from the article's introduction is true. Artists have the ability to prepare figures that are deceptively similar to humans. The effect is particularly noticeable when the display mannequins are wearing clothes or other creations.

This feature also makes our products suitable for special presentations in museums, fairs and even the military or churches! Below is a list of the industries (other than clothing) where mannequins are used most.

Museum mannequins and historical exhibitions

When viewing an exhibition, do you want to imagine what a medieval noblewoman might have looked like in that court costume hanging in the display case? That's why there are mannequins in museums - so that you don't have to imagine it, but can see it! As we mentioned, the possibilities for creating shapes for museum mannequins are almost limitless, so you can tailor the form perfectly to a particular dress or ancient styling to reflect its beauty or careful workmanship as much as possible.

However, mannequins are not only used to present costumes - in museums they also display weapons, elements of armour or depict scenes from historical battles. Often, museum mannequins assume various poses that indicate their role in battle - knights kneeling on one knee with their spear drawn, swordsmen with their weapons raised high above their heads, or generals sitting on horseback watching the battle, surrounded by banners. Even though the figures are immobile, the whole exhibition is very dynamic, thanks to the accurate reproduction of the costumes, equipment and poses.

Military mannequin

Weapons or soldiers' uniforms are displayed in the same way during military exhibitions. The mannequins hold rifles and pistols or assume poses appropriate for a given activity, such as loading an anti-aircraft gun.

Mannequin for trade fairs

The use of mannequins at various types of trade fairs, such as fashion, design or machinery fairs, is also popular. This is the solution most like the traditional setting of display mannequins in shops. The aim of the exhibition is to present a particular product or solution favourably, which is why customers choose to use the 'help' of mannequins. Obviously, they are often used in the presentation of clothing, but they can also be hosted, among other things, at health and safety trainings to show the risks to which people are exposed at work.

Churches and religious sites

The previous examples relate to the presentation of universal mannequin silhouettes, but at MORE Mannequins we also make models that are twinned to a specific human being, which makes it possible to present saintly figures, for example. This solution is particularly popular with clergy, in order to place a silhouette in the interior of a church to evoke associations with a particular saint. At MORE Mannequins, we have a technique that enables us to make a mannequin with similar strength to marble sculptures!

Entertainment industry and sports mannequins

The needs of those ordering display mannequins in the entertainment industry are similar to those in the previous example. Often, customers want a silhouette of a particular person to be made and used as a prop or 'statue' to commemorate them. At MORE Mannequins, we also prepare busts.

Another interesting example is in the field of sport - mannequins showing athletes or the specifics of a particular sport are made for promotional purposes. A perfect example is the making of a mannequin that presents the silhouette taken in flight by a ski jumper. The perfect reproduction of that moment “in action” makes it possible to present the athlete as in a stop frame, except that it is a real figure and not a digital image.

Display mannequins are everywhere you need them!

These are just some examples of industries where mannequins are used more often than others. However, there are really no limits to them - they will appear wherever you need them and take up the pose that is most appropriate.
