Bern 2023 Logo Boulder

For this years Climbing World Championship 2023 in Bern I was asked to design a playstructure / mini boulder which looks exactly like their logo.

The boulder is designed and built in compliance with EN 1176, the European norm for Playground equipment so it can be set up in public space.

Built as three independent blocks, the parts can be carried by a few strong climbers and would just barely fit in a bus and on a trailer.

Holzgut built the substructure according to my 3D design, painted the panels and assembled the three blocks in Ostermundigen, just a few kilometers from where the World Championship will take place.

Thank you Swiss Alpine Club and Christian Tschudi @obloc.ch for the job.

The 3D design had to match the official logo as closely as possible.
The panels in 3D and horizontal orientation ready for CNC cutting.

Ready for BEA exhibition in Bern, three months before the big event in the Postfinance Arena.
