Innovation and quality : Wall Safe Magnet Mounting is changing home decor
Displate’s products are manufactured using own, perfected techniques to receive gallery-quality results. Steel used to create Displates is thick and resistant to atmospheric conditions what guarantees durability and gives certainty that the product will serve for a very long time.
The posters are mounted on the wall using sticker magnets. The unique mounting system with a thin, flat magnet is extremely easy to use and permits any rearrangements of the artworks, thus revolutionizing the home decor field.

Their engagement in Displate opens up a lot of opportunities and new solutions, not only financially, but also because of their vast expertise and portfolio of companies such as Glami/Stileo, Bonami or Biano.
Thanks to the investment Displate is now launching Art Agent campaign, that allows everyone that want to promote art and earn 30% commission. A new take on social media selling and brand marketing strategy,
“We want Displate to be a community around art. It means not only Artist or Creators but also everyone that can help them grow. We decided to share as much as 30% to everyone that wants to promote creators and their works. In this way we want to engage influencers, bloggers, journalists, writers, celebrities and everyday heros to promote what they love.” – says Jacek Swigost, Co-founder at Displate.
That financial boost from Miton means Displate’s goals and plans for 2019 will come to fruition faster than ever anticipated. The most important among them will be opening of Displate’s branch office in Austin, Texas, thus marking another significant milestone in the company’s 5-year journey.
