    JKMRTN

    The James Kelly / Martin Siegrist longboard design collaboration project started back in 2019 with the scan of a few of James’ boards and the analysis of their concaves. Designing the concave based on measurements was a little difficult. Instead we used a simple and effective process: the concave was modelled with stacked layers of…

    Camp5 KL East paneling

    Under the brand called Camp5, my friends own five climbing gyms in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Soon they’ll open another huge gym with a total of 1340 m² of climbing surface. The walls were designed by co-owner Patrick Andrey. I got to do the paneling which consists of placing panels on the planes of the walls…

  • So iLL Split Palm hangboard

    So iLL Split Palm hangboard

    The Split Palm hangboard idea came after modeling the Meagan Martin split hangboard tiles. It is basically an Iron Palm split in halves and some grips added. Jason Kehl modeled a concept in Sketchup and provided some dimensions for my refinement in Rhino. The spherical parts are modeled as surfaces. SubD modeling was used for…

  • Elys Metamaze

    Elys Metamaze

    The Metamaze is a spatial labyrinth, playground, artificial cave and hideaway at Elys Boulderloft in Basel, Switzerland. On a footprint of 25 m², the intertwined tunnel system has a total lenght of nearly 50 meters. The panels are CNC cut 24 mm birch plywood and connected with German made steel connectors. The Metamaze is built…

  • So iLL Iron Palm hangboard

    So iLL Iron Palm hangboard

    Jason Kehl’s signature hangboard got a redesign. My task was to blend the individual parts into one object in the correct size. While most of the adaptions were straight forward, the pinches needed some more attention. In the end, Jason shaped one side in foam and air-mailed the master part so I could scan it.…

    So iLL Meagan Martin training tiles

    So iLL asked me to design training tiles for their athlete Meagan Martin who’s part of the USA World Cup team and a Ninja Warrior. We agreed on the tile design early on. I wanted to try something a little different this time. Instead of grips shaped like oblong holes subtracted from a main body,…

  • So iLL Rise hangboard

    So iLL Rise hangboard

    A hangboard made of wood is fabricated in a subtractive process and cutting away more material takes more time and thus raises the pricetag. Casting a plastic hangboard is the opposite. Thicker grips and rungs require more resin. The goal is simple, design a hangboard with as little material as possible. The Rise hangboard was…

  • Beam optimization

    Beam optimization

    Five huge timber vaults have been built for the 2021 Tianfu Agricultural Expo. StructureCraft created the production files for three of the vaults, Häring Timber Technology did the other two. The arches of the conical vaults all shared a similar buildup, yet all arches had different dimensions. The glulam beams were produced in Europe and…

  • Knots

    Knots

    3D scanned with my Artec Leo. The AR animation is available on mobile devices. After the shoe scan shown above and my friend complaining about the quality of the shoe laces, I decided to experiment a bit. I had already simulated a simple knot in Rhino / Grasshopper with Kangaroo but that was a round…

  • Jumpa maze

    Jumpa maze

    This 2.5 x 2 x 2 meter prototype with six cells was created to get a better feel for the size, test the chosen steel connector and to learn more about the assembly. The panels have been CNC cut. But, at the time, the algorithm for the hole placement was not quite ready so I…
