Design Showcases for Interiors combine professional refrigeration functionality with elegant aesthetics that fit into a store or restaurant interior concept as a stylish design element. Unlike standard retail display cases, design showcases are designed with an emphasis on visual impact—sloped glass surfaces, wooden or black trim frames, integrated LED lighting and rounded shapes make them a premium class of retail equipment. BHS offers a range of design showcases as part of the Retail Display Cases range —INTEGRO, SLIM, DOLCE and other premium showcase models for confectioneries, cafés and premium stores.
Design showcases are available in cold, hot and neutral versions, as well as combined configurations that allow different temperature product categories to be displayed within one system. See the INTEGRO system, confectionery display cases and other retail display cases.
Design Showcases for Interiors represent the highest class segment of retail equipment, where the fixture is not only a functional tool but also a visual element of brand identity. In premium confectioneries, specialty coffee cafés, delicatessen stores and high-end restaurants, displaying products in a design showcase enhances the customer’s perceived value of the products and the establishment’s overall prestige.
Design showcase collections
The INTEGRO design showcase series offers a modular system with cold, hot, neutral and combined showcases that can be connected in a unified display line system. The INTEGRO system is popular in premium stores and confectionery establishments where products from different temperature zones are placed side by side, creating a cohesive visual display.
The SLIM showcase series stands out with its narrow body—ideal for spaces with limited width where elegant product display is needed without taking up much space. The DOLCE and DOS PISOS series offer multi-level displays with glass shelves that visually enclose the product from more than one angle. See the INTEGRO, SLIM and DOLCE collections.
Self-service design showcases
The SELF-SERVICE and MAXISELF design showcase series combine elegant design with a self-service format—the customer can independently access products through open side-access doors or from the top. This format is popular in premium deli stores and delicatessen sections where the visual representation of products is as important as ease of access.
The self-service format of design showcases reduces the need for staff to hand out products while maintaining a premium visual impact. LED lighting in these showcases enhances the perception of product colours and textures, increasing the frequency of impulse purchases.
HACCP and refrigeration in design showcases
Design showcases with refrigeration must meet the same HACCP requirements as standard retail display cases—temperature control, documentation and regular maintenance are mandatory. The elegant appearance of design showcases must not compromise hygiene standards—glass surfaces must be cleaned regularly, and the refrigeration system must be serviced once a year.
Cleaning the often-used grid or sloped glass design in design showcases requires extra attention—glass without visible fingerprints and smudges quickly diminishes the visual appeal of the showcase. Regular glass cleaning is not only a hygiene but also an aesthetic standard requirement.
HoReCa interior scenarios
In a premium confectionery store, the INTEGRO system with cold and neutral sections side by side allows chilled cakes and dry confectionery to be displayed in a unified elegant line system. In a specialty coffee café, a SLIM or DOLCE showcase with cakes and dessert offerings near the cashier zone increases the average purchase and enhances the aesthetic experience.

Frequently asked questions
Is it more difficult to maintain design showcases than standard retail display cases? Maintaining design showcases is equivalent to standard showcases in terms of functionality—the refrigeration system, temperature control and cleaning procedures are identical. Extra care is needed when cleaning glass surfaces to maintain a premium appearance without fingerprints and condensation stains.
Can INTEGRO system modules be freely combined? Yes—the INTEGRO modular system is designed for combining different sections. Cold, hot and neutral modules have the same height and connection system, allowing any length and combination of line systems to be created. Before purchasing, it is important to consult about the compatibility of specific models.
