Description
The playground has taken on the aura of an almost mystical place in the imaginations of children and in the nostalgic memories of their parents. And why must it only exist as something bygone or something ‘out there’? Inspired by traditional outdoors playgrounds that we all know and love, this piece provides a space for the athletic, the dynamic and the playful to run free in their imaginations. Though why stop there? This piece illuminates that a sense of adventure doesn’t have to equal an abandonment of luxury and of thoughtful design.
Sitting on a secure foundation of white lacquered wood and solid Oak wood, this piece emphasises the brightness and materiality of the great outdoors. The blue rope additions evident in the climbing ropes and swing adds a welcome splash of colour to this subtle palette, reminiscent of open summer skies. However, the Climbing Frame isn’t content with living in the nostalgia-infused past and does away with the idea that play can’t be luxurious. The polished-brass finishings that compliment the seemingly endless gymnastic features elevate this piece above mere reckless abandon. So ask yourself the question, who hasn’t always longed for a playground all of their own, where there is no queue for a go on the swings?
