Standard Flooring
Each booth comes standard with permanent brushed concrete flooring of the exhibition hall. Exhibitors wishing to display unique flooring must contact the Design Miami / Logistics team, to assist in the coordination of the installation. This includes an exhibitor's own wall-to-wall carpeting and unique floors. Please also view the page Special Construction.
All aisles in Hall 1.1 will have industrial concrete floor without a cover.
Please be aware that it is not permitted to drill holes in the floor. Any floor damages will be charged to the exhibitor based upon the labor and material costs involved in the repair.
The maximum floor load in Hall 1.1 is 1,000 kg per square meter.
If you are considering bringing in very heavy works, please contact Logistic Management in advance.
Please note: The hall floor is not perfectly level. If installing something that requires a perfectly even ground please contact Show Management.
Freight elevator dimensions for Hall 1.1.
Height: 3.00 m
Length: 5.08 m
Width: 2.60 m
Maximum load capacity: 8,000 kg
Power Distribution Floor Pockets: Power Distribution Floor Pockets indicated on the booth sketch will not be in use and do not need to be accessible unless communicated differently to the exhibitor directly. Certain floor pockets must be accessible at any time due to emergency and safety concerns. Logistics Management will inform exhibitors in advance of any active floor pockets.
Entrance Hatch Floor Pockets: If there is a special ‘Entrance Hatch’ within your booth area, you will be informed by Logistics Management. It must be accessible at all times due to emergency and safety concerns.
Booth Walls
Exhibiting and partition walls to neighboring booths are indicated in the booth sketch and are included in the participation package.
Height: 3.54 m (11'-6")
Width: 0.5 m or 1.0 m (1'-8" or 3'-3")
Thickness: 6 cm (2.36 in)
Material: Hardwood frame with modular honeycomb construction at the center and an additional layer of PLY
Color: Walls are painted in flat white (Color Code NCS S500N)
Load-bearing capacity of walls: Consult an art handler familiar with your installation needs. The walls carry 30 kg (66 lbs) per 1 m wall panel. Anything beyond that will require reinforcing and must be ordered prior to Load-In. Please speak with Logistics Management regarding the installation of any heavy objects. It is the responsibility of the exhibitor to ensure all exhibits are securely and correctly fixed to the walls.
Special installations: For installation of pieces exceeding load-bearing capacity, wall reinforcement, or special rigging, contact Logistics Management. Drawings with dimensions and images will be necessary.
Custom wall sizes: Prices available upon request.
Custom paint colors: To order walls painted in a color other than white please contact Logistic Management with the specified color code (RAL or NCS). For further information please also see the page Special Construction. Specialized paint such as Farrow & Ball is also available at an additional cost.
lf the exhibitor choses to paint himself, please be aware of the regulations below in order to avoid expensive repairs to the walls:
- Use emulsion paint only (sheen level: matte, but no silk or satin)
- Use only solvent-free paints
- Do not use acrylic paints
- Do not use silk, satin or gloss varnish
Attachment regulations: The Design Miami / Basel wall system consists of a modular honeycomb construction at the center where there is an additional layer of wood. All forms of attachment must penetrate the central layer to ensure that the attachment cannot break loose.
To ensure safe hanging, nails and screws should be at least 3.5 cm (1.38 in) long to reach the central layer of the wall. In addition we recommend inserting the nails with a downwards slant.
Exhibitors are responsible for ensuring that their works are correctly attached or affixed to the walls. Design Miami / Basel and its suppliers are not responsible for damage resulting from incorrect attachment or installation.
Exhibitors wishing to hang items such as fabric or wallpaper on the walls must contact Logistics Management to coordinate the installation. Physical samples along with necessary fire certificates will be required.
Logistics Management must be informed in advance in writing about heavy installations, i.e. over 30 kg prior to exhibitor load-in, so that proposals for reinforcement solutions can be done. Necessary information to be handed in to Logistics Management:
- Exact desired location indicated in booth sketch or individual plan
- Total weight of object
- Dimension of object (length, width, height)
- Construction plans of object if possible
- Images if available
Wall damages: Any wall damages larger than 1 cm (0.4 in) in diameter or a hole that penetrates right through the wall element require the replacement of the wall / door element, and will be charged to the exhibitor at CHF 1000 per wall element.
Nothing may be glued to the walls. Please do not use any varnish when writing or painting on the wall. For any wall repairs, exhibitors will be charged according to the extent of the damage.
Standard Lighting
Standard spots (Desisti spotlight) can be ordered at an additional cost to the exhibitor.
LED Elation 50W
Specifications: Fresnel, 650W (brightness), 3200 kelvin (halogen)
Mounting location: On truss at a height of 3.54 m (11.61 ft) from the floor.
Rotation: Rotatable through 360º, 0-90º tilt
Light effect: Strong, concentrated light beam
Beam angle: Adjustable, 12º to 52º (adjusted on site during light aiming)
Light Aiming
Lights are installed and adjusted by on-site technicians, according to the exhibitor’s specifications on their lighting plan.
For safety reasons, only on-site technicians may install, move or adjust electrical connections and lights. Any damages and failures to the electrical system, as a result of faulty connections, will be charged to the exhibitor.
Please Note
Personal lighting systems may be used with permission from Logistic Management. Any use of the main lighting system without approval will be charged to the exhibitor at min. CHF 1,000 or based upon the labor and material costs involved in the repair in case of damages. In case of faulty connections, DMB reserve the right to block the connections.
Truss System
Truss is not included in the booth package. Please note, truss cannot be added past the deadline of August 30th.
Truss can be ordered upon request by drawing the sections needed in the booth sketch. Logistic Management will verify feasibility and possible options. Note that the truss is resting on top of the walls and may need additional ground support.
All rigging needs to be approved by Logistics Management prior to load-in. Exhibitors may only rig to the truss with approved hardware that will minimize dents / scratches to the equipment and not compromise the structural integrity.
Any damages resulting from improper use of the truss will be invoiced to the exhibitor.
Electrical Connections
No electrical connections are included in the booth package.
Lighting installed by Design Miami / does not require an electrical connection.
If you require one or more electrical connections (e.g. for sconces, video screens, computers or other devices) please indicate the location of the connection in the plan accordingly. We will order the outlet(s) for you automatically. This denotes a 230V electrical outlet. The charge per outlet includes the cost of electricity consumed. The exhibitor is liable to bring adequate adapters for Swiss sockets.
If an electrical connection bigger than 230V is needed, please contact Logistic Management for available options.
Exhibitors are NOT permitted to make their own connections. In case of faulty connections, Design Miami / reserves the right to block the connections. The exhibitor shall be liable for any disruptions and damage that arise from failure to observe these regulations. A penalty of CHF 500 will result per unauthorized connection.
Three different electrical outlets are possible:
Electrical outlet on the wall including at the baseboard (e.g., sconces, TVs). Please note, that a standard connection on the wall will have visible cables. If you choose a wall connection, please indicate the height of the connection on the plan. To conceal the cables, a special wall element is needed at an additional cost.
Electrical outlet on the truss (e.g., connections for chandeliers, projectors, etc.)
Electrical outlet on the floor. Please note, that the electrician must use cable channels for protecting cables according to fire regulation.
