Robinia Springers & Seesaws

Art on the edge of nature

Dolphins and bugs, ants and bees, snails and ponies, the Robinia Springers & seesaws take creatures from nature and craft them into an artful, wooden play format. The Springer is a KOMPAN invention, an icon in the playground, and with Robinia, it becomes a three-dimensional attraction. Apart from modeling insects, animals, and mammals, the warmth and tactility of Robinia translate wonderfully into other favorites adding a new chapter to the Springer story.

The Springer is a ‘go-to’ feature when placed in any playground. Children are drawn to the joy of rocking, an activity that trains the sense of balance and spatial awareness – senses that ultimately help the child develop concentration and to navigate spaces safely. The Robinia Springers fall into two categories; those based on creatures that are largely solo experiences, and the springer version of the seesaw. Both encourage the children to share, one by taking turns and the other in cooperation.
