The Cranbrook Pedestals are a set of custom display pedestals for a yearlong exhibition at the Saarinen House at Cranbrook. The ensemble of five pedestals are designed for mounting exhibitions in a confined and challenging interior  — the house’s preservation status prohibits painting or affixing anything to its walls.

The five custom pedestals represent the five past presidents of Cranbrook and provide telescoping shelves with ideal viewing angles for displaying books and other ephemera.
