Origin’, a range that blends seamlessly into natural landscapes
Around the world children have always thrived playing in nature. Nature has an abundance of play resources for children and provides an ideal setting where they can develop their taste for adventure and discovery. Natural play equipment is more important than ever. Many children have limited access to nature in the 21st century. The reasons vary – social changes, safety fears, technology and traffic growth all play a part.
Nature inspired play
The importance of well-designed nature inspired playgrounds for the health and wellbeing of children is undeniable. Using play equipment made from natural materials helps bring nature to playgrounds in our urban world, and ensures children still experience many of the benefits of playing in nature. It provides children with a secure environment in which to learn and develop through play.
Our designers feed from the inspiration of nature, which has always had an influence on our play equipment designs, especially on the Origin’ range. Crafted from durable yet beautiful Robinia wood, Proludic’s Origin’ play equipment blends seamlessly into natural landscapes. Custom structures add another exciting dimension to the possibility of designing.
Uniquely safe
With Origin’ play equipment, children can safely enjoy the essence of playing in nature – a walk through the forest, crossing a stream on stepping stones, balancing on uprooted tree trunks, a makeshift playhouse made from fallen branches, or an adventure trail that includes climbing, sliding and observation. Through these adventures children can form a closer relationship with nature. Robinia wood awakens children’s senses by visual and tactile contact.
The creative principle behind the Origin’ range results in unique structures as each piece of equipment has the shape of the wood from which it is made. Our designers follow the contours of this naturally irregular wood to bring a structural and functional idea to life. They have mastered the technical constraints of using natural woods to perfection, so design and nature feed off one another. All of our nature inspired pieces comply with playground safety standards.
Origin’ natural play equipment and sustainability
To align the range with Proludic’s environmental mission all our Robinia wood comes from sustainably managed forests and is PEFC-certified. The internationally recognized PEFC certification covers the entire supply chain of wood. Known for its durability in outdoor environments, Robinia guarantees the longevity of playground facilities and is supported by Proludic’s generous warranties. When sensitively integrated into a playspace with other natural elements the benefits of playing on the Origin’ equipment are enhanced.
