Inspiration | MONSTRUM

There is nothing like an AWESOME playground that makes you feel like a kid again! Danish MONSTRUM creates playgrounds with focus on design, motor challenges and safety.

MONSTRUM
believes that playground design should be a reflection of the world surrounding us. We see the world as a place full of color. We meet boys that like pink and girls that likes trees, so why only play on a monkey frame and a sandbox, when you can play in a moon crater or a submarine or a giant spider or an enormous snail or a Trojans horse or a rocket or an ant or a princess castle. The fantasy is infinite. The visual effect can indulge from a far, a tall slide, a massive tower or a wave to play on can draw kids in from the street.

As artists and designers and through our experience with building theatrical set-design at numerous theaters in Copenhagen, we have the knowledge to combine elements where not only physical activities and play evolve, but also with a visual story that creates a space where fantasy thrives.

The Monstrum website completely made me forget I am down with the flu! I want to go PLAY...NOW!

  1. Cool! Vi har været på at par stykker af dem, men kendte ikke tegnestuen bag dem. De er rigtig fede! På den ene af dem var rutchebanen dog liige stejl nok og vi havde nær haft et alvorligt uheld...

  2. Hej Mette, Årh hvad bliver jeg jaloux! Der ser så fede ud og man bliver så nysgerrig på at prøve dem af! Phu ha jeg er glad I ikke kom til skade. Vi var også på en rigtig fed legeplads, men det var den samme ting..stejl rutschebane og ikke als til børn under 5 år. Måske bliver den seje design lidt for sej ind imellem?
