QU™ – The Designer’s Tabletop Display and Signage System, was designed by Architect Roger Lepley, AIA and Industrial Designer, Eastan Bakka. QU is a product of Consort Display Group and is manufactured in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA. The name “QU” and the logo and branding concepts are creations of Thomas Mills of MillsIdeas, LLC, Kalamazoo, Michigan USA. The QU website was designed by Jean Strate of Consort Display Group.

The inspiration for QU is simply the idea of taking standard Letter Size (8.5”x11”) paper designed in a two-column format, printing it, folding it lengthwise and inserting it into a durable, contemporary, two-sided tabletop display. With a special bracket, QU is also easily wall-mounted for horizontal signs. QU is extremely durable to the point of being virtually unbreakable. Please see our durability videos.
