         2 . The suspension system according to  claim 1 , wherein attachment clip comprises two parallel wings configured to engage the first recess. 
     
     
         3 . The suspension system according to  claim 1 or 2 , wherein a width of the wing(s) of the attachment claim substantially corresponds to a width of the first recess of the carrier profile. 
     
     
         4 . The suspension system according to claim  any of the preceding claims , wherein the wings are chamfered. 
     
     
         5 . The suspension system according to  any of the preceding claims , wherein the attachment clip comprises a flat body, and the one or two protruding wing(s) is/are protruding perpendicularly to the flat body. 
     
     
         6 . The suspension system according to  claim 5 , wherein the flat body has a thickness of 0.4 to 3 mm, preferably 0.6 to 2 mm, most preferably 0.8 to 1.2 mm. 
     
     
         7 . The suspension system according to  any of the preceding claims , wherein the first recess extends along the longitudinal direction of the carrier profile. 
     
     
         8 . The suspension system according to  any of the preceding claims , wherein the first recess is configured for holding a nut or a head of a bolt. 
     
     
         9 . The suspension system according to  any of the preceding claims , wherein each attachment clip comprises a clip opening configured for receiving a shank of a bolt. 
     
     
         10 . The suspension system according to  claim 9 , wherein the protruding wing(s) and the clip opening are positioned along a straight line. 
     
     
         11 . The suspension system according to  any of the preceding claims , wherein at least some of the plurality of carrier profiles have a second recess opposite and/or parallel to the first recess. 
     
     
         12 . The suspension system according to  any of the preceding claims , wherein the attachment clip is made of plastic or metal, preferably steel or aluminium. 
     
     
         13 . The suspension system according to  any of the preceding claims , wherein each main runner at a lower edge comprises flanges configured for carrying ceiling tiles. 
     
     
         14 . The suspension system according to  any of the preceding claims , wherein each main runner comprises a bulb at its upper edge, the attachment clip being configured to receive said bulb. 
     
     
         15 . An acoustic ceiling island platform comprising the suspension system according to  any of the preceding claims  and ceiling tiles carried by the main runners. 
     
     
         16 . The acoustic ceiling island platform according to  claim 15 , wherein a plurality of the carrier profiles forms an outer frame profile of the ceiling island. 
     
     
         17 . The acoustic ceiling island platform according to  claim 16 , wherein the carrier profiles forming the outer frame profile have the first recesses at their inner faces and smooth outer faces.
