Well, we named her Lexie when we introduced her into RHH's mannequin line. Sometimes we just referred to her as item # WL-25, but now she has a new name. "Bar Be Que" stands outside of KT's Barbeque in a small town in Ohio, drawing in customers everyday. Kenny Tessel, the restaurant's owner, had the ingenious, extremely cost-effective, idea to bring "Bar Be" to help attract attention to his business. Clad in a bikini top and "Daisy Duke" shorts, "Bar Be" has helped increase business more than 30%. See the story on CNN.com and buy your own "Bar Be" here.
The Robert H. Ham 2009 Spring Catalog is the biggest, most expansive to date. In fact, we have such a wide variety of quality store fixtures and displays at economical prices that we decided that one cover wasn't enough. The 2 new covers represent displays for both apparel and non-apparel retailers. While the covers are different, the inside features the same great product at the lowest possible prices. In addition to store fixtures you know and love, new display items have been added as well as some gorgeous new packaging products. Find vibrant shopping bags or gift bags and the latest in mannequins and forms.

‘Keeping it fresh’ can mean the addition or replacement of new fixtures. The Raw Steel Collection is a unique take on traditional metal fixtures. A rich, burnished graphite color with darkened welded joints and gives the series a raw, quasi-organic appearance that is very current. Because the 2-way, 4-way fixtures, rolling rack and rounder are traditional styles with an updated texture, they are an appealing addition to standard chrome fixtures. Moreover, the new nesting table set is very modern, very hip… it is the ideal new platform for smart, enticing displays.
The latest series of mannequins from Robert H. Ham, the Abstract Collection, features male and female silhouettes with vague facial features, smooth, oval heads, and glossy finishes in black, white, or silver. The new series offers a clean, modern alternative to traditional mannequin styles.
The concept of monochromatic, abstract-featured mannequins is to provide a subtle, subdued 3-dimensional form so that the apparel and accessories are the focal point of a display. Abstract mannequins provide only the essence of the human form so they do not detract from merchandise being displayed. In 3 colors and an array of poses, the Abstract Mannequins can be components in impressive and effective visual displays for all styles of apparel and accessories.
