GRAFIC GAMES is an award-winning innovation by Proludic that combines artwork with Proludic play equipment. It is an ideal way to enhance any playspace and create strong links to local culture and the environment. We can collaborate with community artists to create site-specific artwork to apply to Proludic play equipment. Optical illusions or corporate branding can also be incorporated.
The whole manufacturing process is carried out by Proludic, ensuring the high quality of the finish and long term durability of the play equipment. The Grafic Games innovation enables designers to create unique playground art for site specific playground solutions.
Alternatively we have six different themed graphic finishes that enhance the playfulness and appeal of the play equipment – Grafic, Etnik, Océane, Metropolis, Medieval and Amazone. Children love discovering the intricate artistic details that inspire stories and adventures in the playground!
Proludic’s Grafic Games innovation has achieved a Good Design Award® Winner in Australia’s most prestigious awards program for design and innovation managed by Good Design Australia. The judges commented:
This is a very competitive market and to offer something new and innovative is very challenging. Grafic Games offers a whole new ecosystem of options for customers resulting in an original and innovative experience. The quality and finish of the manufacturing is second to none.
Examples of our projects featuring Grafic Games are illustrated below:
Riverside Park Adventure Playground, VIC: local indigenous artist Sandra Kropinyeri created artwork based on traditional stories of the Swan Hill region. We used our Grafic Games technique to apply the artist’s designs to a giant, custom-designed Kanopé Tree Tower. This helps to strengthen the community’s connection with the playground and supports imaginative play. Learn more
Bespoke Artwork Play Tower: working in association with the artist @Lucy Lucy we prepared a bespoke design for our play tower at a playspace in an area of Melbourne well known for its street art. The client is delighted with the proposal which is due to be implemented by the end of 2020. In addition a custom Proludic Butterfly Springer with graphics of an endangered endemic species creates links to the local wildlife.

Fitzroy Crossing Playground, WA: to strengthen the community’s connection with the playground, Proludic’s Grafic Games technique was utilised to apply original artworks to the play equipment.

Proludic’s expertise was then employed to create the finished artistic play equipment items which connect with the local environment and encourage imaginative and social play.
