A question often asked: How can we include imaginative, innovative, challenging, engaging and inclusive play equipment that will inspire children to play across a spectrum of age and ability?
Proludic’s answer is simple and comes in the form of one of their longest-running multi-play ranges – Kanopé.
Proludic redesigned their popular Kanopé equipment in 2017 and has taken the key elements of the outdoors and created a unique twist incorporating an urban interpretation of nature. We created contemporary design through geometrical shapes, transparency, discovery and imagery using urban materials such as steel, ropes and composite to provide robustness to sit within any challenging environment.
Play is far from compromised, in fact, this design enahcnes it, with a footprint for play that delivers a plethora of play opportunities. This design upholds the aspiration of Genius Loci – ‘the prevailing character or atmosphere of a place and a great place for children to play.
In 2018, the addition of some newer elements further enhanced this ethos. It now has seven impressive tower multi-play units that are over 8 meters in height and can host up to 55 children at once with 25 different elements to it. This includes climbing, crawling, hiding, sliding and traversing across the equipment in innovative ways.
Proludic installed one of these units for the first time in Riga, Latvia – in an amazing play area that is worth €2 million.
