The real problem

Is your chalet doing your brand more harm than good?

A kit that won't survive winter

Fragile wood, patchy weatherproofing, finishes that turn grey: the cheapest chalet costs you dearly the very next season.

A brand lost in the line-up

Generic cladding and fixed dimensions: your chalet looks like every other on the square, and your brand fades away.

Hire that keeps adding up

Re-hiring every winter costs more, over time, than owning your own timber chalet, paid off across several editions.

Illustrative comparison. A third route for a one-off need: seasonal hire, from €500 to €2,500 per chalet.

What it changes for you

A chalet that earns its keep season after season

Your brand breaks out of the line-up

Tailored dimensions, a fascia and frontage in your colours: visitors pick you out at first glance among the standard chalets on the square.

A structure that stands up to winter

Treated timber, a sturdy frame and a watertight roof: your chalet shrugs off rain and frost without greying in its very first season.

An investment that pays for itself

Bought once, rebuilt every year: within two or three seasons, bespoke works out cheaper than hiring again and again.

A genuine sales tool

Sales counter, storage, servery and lighting designed around your business: you trade in proper conditions, not from a makeshift shed.

Budget transparency

Exhibition chalet prices: hire, kit or bespoke

The budget is reckoned per chalet and depends first on how you acquire it: seasonal hire, a kit purchase or bespoke manufacturing. The benchmarks below position each option; to widen the comparison to every format, our guide to the cost of an exhibition stand breaks down the market ranges.

OptionIndicative priceBest suited to
Chalet hire (per season)€500 to €2,500 per chaletA single Christmas market, without building equity in the structure
Chalet kit (purchase)€1,500 to €6,000Occasional use on a tight budget, limited personalisation
Bespoke timber chalet (purchase)€6,000 to €15,000 and beyondA brand present every season, premium image and durability

Indicative ranges, depending on dimensions, timber grade and level of finish. From two or three seasons onwards, buying bespoke often beats hiring year after year.

Our method

The 5 steps of your exhibition chalet

From surveying the pitch to winter storage, a single team looks after your chalet.

1

Site survey & brief

We survey your pitch, your dates and the organiser's constraints: imposed dimensions, power supply, access.

2

Drawings & chalet plans

The chalet is drawn to your measurements, cladding and fascia included; you approve every drawing before cutting begins.

3

Workshop manufacturing

The treated timber frame, roof, joinery and counter are produced then pre-assembled in our workshop.

4

Delivery & installation

We install the chalet on your pitch before the market opens, connected and lit.

5

Dismantling & winter storage

At the end of the season, we take the structure down, inspect it and store it until the next edition.

Our chalet formats

Which chalet for your business?

Counter sales, tastings or a complete village: each use calls for its own layout, openings and fit-out. Our chalets are built in the workshop then installed far and wide, whether you exhibit with our exhibition stand builders in Paris or at a market on the other side of the country; browse our achievements to see them in place.

Sales chalet

A front counter, a sheltered sales area and storage at the back: the king of Christmas market formats.

Tasting chalet

Widened openings, a tasting bar and warm lighting to get your products sampled by passers-by.

XL dual-pitch chalet

A dual-pitch roof and extended volume to welcome the public inside, in the warm.

Chalet village

Several coordinated chalets forming a branded village, for a coherent, instantly recognisable retail space.

Client reviews

What our clients say about us

Beyond my expectations

« It is with great confidence that I recommend the services of Decore Studio Events. I was referred to Giselle Calderon and her team for the very specific kind of event that UN conferences are. We built a relationship of trust from our very first meeting. Working with Giselle's team was a wonderful experience, and I cannot say how happy I am to have designed our first pavilion at COP. The team understood where we came from and what messages we wanted to convey to our audience, with unfailing professionalism. »

Juliette Tronchon Senior Policy and Public Affairs Specialist

Total satisfaction

« Decore Studio Events took part in organising our pavilion, a platform providing spaces for side events, networking and meetings for several organisations. Their professional team oversaw production coordination, construction supervision, organisation, logistics and support services such as streaming during the event, with a personalised service. They met our expectations with excellent quality, from concept development, design and manufacturing through to the final days of dismantling. »

Atlantis Investment
Abdallah Zalatimo Managing Director · Atlantis Investment

A quality partner

« We had excellent exchanges during the preparation phase. We are delighted that our stand was built in such an aesthetic and careful way, with nearly 90% similarity to the 3D design. A wonderful, efficient, expert team offering great quality. We are honoured to work with Decore. »

Indonesia Pavilion
Yulisa Agustin Organiser · Indonesia Pavilion

A turnkey stand, zero stress

« Brief on a call, 3D concept approved within a week, flawless installation the day before the show. The team handled every detail, including last-minute adjustments on site. We doubled our leads compared to the previous edition. »

Camille R. Trade show manager · cosmetics

Best value for money in 10 years of exhibiting

« We exhibit at four shows a year. Their modular stand reconfigures to every floor space and saves us nearly 40% per edition. The workshop quality is stunning: visitors think the stand is brand new every time. »

Thomas L. Marketing director · industrial sector

They know medical congresses inside out

« Regulatory constraints, pharma guidelines, demo areas: everything was anticipated. The stand was ready twelve hours before opening and the team stayed reachable throughout the congress. Our visiting physicians loved the space. »

Sofía M. Communications manager · healthcare

A true partner, not just a supplier

« Our first international show, on a tight budget. They proposed a clever design that looked twice as big as the actual floor space. Result: three distributors signed during the show. We are going again with them next year. »

Marc D. CEO · B2B tech

Finishes worthy of a flagship store

« We had very high expectations on materials and lighting. The final result was flagship-level: perfect lacquers, precise lighting, not a cable in sight. The stand was photographed by the trade press. »

Frequently asked questions

From €8,000 to €30,000 depending on size, insulation, heating and finish level. Seasonal rental is possible for a Christmas market or a one-off event.

On public land, yes: occupancy permit, safety certificates and sometimes a committee review. We prepare the technical file and the regulatory certificates.
