The Swiss championships for building-services trades were again the focus of Suissetec's presence. A Foxtrail invited visitors of all ages to explore the different trades through play. Pipe-design floor stickers marked the route, which ended at our interactive digital Glücksrad.

The main attraction was the upside-down bathroom, which made striking smartphone photos possible. The secret behind the floating laundry, together with carefully arranged everyday objects, gave the installation its effect.

Competitors were challenged to transform a pallet bar into something both functional and visually impressive. Reflecting that task, the main bar for visitors was also made from treated pallets.
