The large, slanting, rotating ring with 7 divided areas motivates children to explore Supernova's countless play options: turning, spinning, balancing – seated, lying, standing, alone or with friends. The 7 areas of the ring inspire a multitude of different games-with-rules. The many play opportunities and the open ground level design makes it possible for all abilities to be included in play. Rough-and-tumble play is on, and the pushing of the ring and running train the children's arm and leg muscles and cardio. The jumping on and off of the rotating ring builds bone density. The Supernova trains the sense of balance and space, which is crucial for being able to sit still or navigate traffic safely. Children help one another and invent games. These stimulate the child's social-emotional skills and cognition, empathy, cooperation skills and logical thinking.

Play value is the value gained from play, the value that makes the child “want” or developmentally “need” to undertake the activity and thus gives the play item holding power. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.
turn-taking and cooperation when finding new games. One differently colored part makes it possible to count rounds when running, encouraging positive competition.
games-with-rules are invented, which promotes logical thinking.
the inclination develops the sense of balance and muscle strength when walking upwards or pushing the ring into motion. Bone density is built when jumping on and off. Furthermore the cardio is practiced when pushing, running.
the round shape allows assistance all over.
balance and coordination is used to stay on the ring in motion and walking up- or downwards. This also trains leg and core muscles.
cooperation setting the ring in motion. The round shape allows assistance from all sides.
logical thinking, working with gravity when figuring out how to stay on the ring or make it move faster.
accessible and usable for all abilities and a wide age span.

This product, Supernova (GXY960), is provided by KOMPAN United States.
The Supernova is a unique carousel with no center point placed in an angle of 10° which makes it turn when children walks the ring. The outside ring diameter is 208cm and the upper point is 60cm above ground level.
The 7 ring segments are made of low density PE made from 33% post-consumer recycled materials with excellent impact strength and usable within a large temperature span. Each segment has integrated handholds on both sides and non-skid top surface for safe usage.
The Supernova is designed with a lifetime lubricated maintenance free roller system of vertical and horizontal rollers. The roller system is fully closed and sealed by two rubber lists.
The Supernova is designed with 5 legs with hot dip galvanized surfacing treatment. The galvanization has excellent corrosion resistance in outside environments and requires low maintenance.
The sand colored variant is made of rotomolded stone mixed PE made from 33% post consumer materials with a non skid surface texture. Minor differences in the stone mix visuality of the material are to be expected.
GreenLine versions in a dark teal color are designed with molded PP parts which consist of 25% recycled post-consumer waste and 75% virgin material. GreenLine ensures the lowest possible CO2e emission factor.

The overall framework applied for these factors is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which quantifies "environmental information on the life cycle of a product and enables comparisons between products fulfilling the same function" (ISO, 2006). This follows the structure and applies a Life-Cycle Assessment approach to the entire Product stage from raw material through manufacturing (A1-A3).
