Family Board and Systemic Constellation Board
Buy Systemic Constellation Boards & Family Boards
Make hidden dynamics and complex structures tangible. A systemic constellation board (often called a family board) is the most important functional tool for coaches, therapists, and counselors. It helps your clients visualize situations and discover new paths to solutions. Discover our thoughtfully designed range – handcrafted by a small business in Germany.
Handcrafted Quality for Therapy, Counseling, and Coaching
In systemic work, haptics are crucial. Each of our systemic boards is carefully crafted by hand. We sand the edges smoothly and treat the surfaces multiple times with high-quality hard wax oil. The result is an extremely pleasant to the touch, natural, and durable working surface.
Which Systemic Board Set Fits Your Work?
To ensure you find the exact tool that optimally complements your methodological toolkit, we offer our boards in two variations:
The Solo-Set (For experienced practitioners): Do you already have your own wooden figures for your work? Then the Solo-Set is perfect for you. It complements your practice with a high-quality, optionally divisible board and a custom-fit transport bag.
The Starter-Set (The complete package): Everything you need for professional constellations. This set includes the optionally divisible board, a sturdy transport bag, as well as comprehensive accessories consisting of wooden figures, neutral elements, and cords.

More than just wooden figures: The power of visual constellations
In systemic work, the spoken word is often just the beginning. A systemic constellation board (or family board) acts as a bridge between the client's inner experiential world and outer reality. By setting up figures and elements, abstract conflicts, hidden relationship webs, and unconscious dynamics become literally "tangible." Clients take a step back and view their own system from a bird's-eye view (meta-level). This shift in perspective is often the crucial impulse needed to dissolve blockages and discover new rooms for maneuver.
Who should buy a systemic constellation board? Our handcrafted boards are a versatile tool for a wide variety of professional contexts. Buying one is particularly worthwhile for:
Systemic Coaches & Counselors: For visualizing personal goals, decision-making processes, or inner parts (e.g., with the Inner Team model).
Family Therapists: As a classic family board, it helps to gently reveal family entanglements, generational conflicts, or closeness-distance issues.
Organizational Developers & Managers: In business constellations, team structures, hierarchies, departments, or workplace conflicts are represented neutrally.
Mediators & Supervisors: To view deadlocked situations from the outside and develop neutral approaches to solutions.
What defines a professional constellation board? (What you should look for) If you want to buy a systemic board online, you should pay attention to functionality and material quality. A professional board must not distract, but rather provide a calm projection surface for the client.
The choice of material: We rely on robust, high-quality birch plywood. Wood connects us to nature, radiates calm, and is extremely durable. Treatment with hard wax oil creates a pleasant haptic experience that invites interaction.
Neutral figures: Systemic figures should deliberately have no faces or painted details. Only through this neutrality can clients completely freely project their own emotions, age structures, or genders onto the figures.
Flexibility through divisibility: A solid board reaches its limits when there are extreme ruptures in the system. Our divisible boards make it possible to physically represent actual rifts, separations, or insurmountable conflicts by sliding the halves of the board apart.
Additional elements: Alongside classic wooden figures, symbols (such as discs or cubes) and cords are crucial for making boundaries, connections, resources, or obstacles visible.
Frequently Asked Questions about working with the family board (FAQ)
Do I need special training to use the board? A solid systemic training or continuing education is highly recommended in order to be able to guide the client's reactions professionally. However, the board itself can be used intuitively and can also be integrated step-by-step into an existing counseling practice by beginners.
Why do the sizes of the figures vary? The different sizes of the wooden figures primarily serve to map hierarchies or generational differences (e.g., parents and children, managers and employees). Sometimes, however, a client deliberately chooses a small figure for a very dominant topic – it is precisely these unconscious decisions that make working with the board so valuable.
