ABOUT US

​

​

When someone leaves the ground, every knot, every line, and every piece of hardware matters. Yet much of the gear used in rope suspension today was never designed for it. Many riggers in our community are unknowingly using unrated hardware from unknown sources; or mass-produced unaesthetic rings/rigging plates pulled from the climbing world. For something this intimate and dangerous, using unrated gear is a risk worth thinking about. (for both tops and bottoms)

 

At Subspace Designs, we believe suspension hardware should be undeniably strong.

​

We are the only company dedicated exclusively to making suspension rings engineered specifically for rope and hook suspension.

Every piece we create starts with careful design and precision machining, built with the strength needed for the task.

​

We physically break-test our designs to verify their strength, while also using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) during the design process to ensure it surpasses climbing gear standards. But safety is only part of the story. Suspension is also art. The gear you use should reflect that. We put a lot of pride into making truly unique designs that are guaranteed to turn heads; just like your art does.

We create suspension hardware that is engineered, tested, and made to support both the safety and the beauty of suspension. Because when someone is in the air, the gear above them should be undeniably strong.
