Nicola Gut – Smash
Smash is an urban sports net designed to make volleyball and badminton accessible in public spaces through a single adaptable structure. Traditional installations for these sports often require large, permanent infrastructure that is costly to install, maintain, and store, limiting their presence in urban environments. Smash addresses this challenge with a compact system featuring a retractable net that rolls into its case when not in use, minimizing its footprint while protecting the equipment. A rotating handle allows users to quickly adjust the net height, switching between volleyball and badminton in seconds. Designed for parks, alleys, and existing sports areas, Smash encourages spontaneous play and brings flexible sporting opportunities into the urban landscape.
