Walls

We offer a modular wall system that can be rented for exhibitons.

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.

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.

Painted Walls

To order walls painted in a color other than white please contact Logistic Management with the specified color code (RAL or NCS). 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

Wallpaper Application

Only wallpaper which uses an adhesive without synthetic resin can be used to apply directly onto the wall elements provided. If this is not given the installation of an additional reinforcement onto the wall elements is necessary with additional costs as protection.

In case of such an installation please contact Logistic Management for further assistance.

For all applications, please send a small sample of the selected wallpaper. Installation needs confirmation from Logistic Manager.

Ceilings

We offer a wide range of ceiling constructions (white / black fabric or wooden ceiling).

If you decide to have a special ceiling, it might be necessary to order special lighting as well.

In addition it will be necessary to install a fire detection system in all exhibitions with closed ceilings that are larger than 30m². Depending on the exhibition design and size of the ceiling, exhibitors will have to install one or more fire detectors on the ceiling as well as place a fire control box within the enclosed space at the expense of the exhibitor. The fire control box must be easily accessible in the space at all the times.

In case of such an installation, please contact Logistics Management for further information. All ceiling constructions must be approved by Logistics Management.

According to the safety regulations of MCH Swiss Exhibition (Basel) Ltd., exhibitors are not permitted to suspend any objects from the hall ceiling themselves. Only suspension wires provided and installed by technicians employed by MCH Swiss Exhibition (Basel) Ltd. are permitted.

Please contact Logistic Management for further details and be sure to provide the following information:

  • Total weight of the object that you plan to hang from the ceiling
  • Exact position of the object within your exhibition
