Robinia Temalek

Elementen i Robinia Temalek består av bekanta föremål, som båtar, hus eller bensinstationer, vilket hjälper barn att utforska världen från sitt perspektiv och att förstå sin egen plats i den. Barnen berättar även sin lekhistoria för de andra barnen medan de leker, vilket stimulerar språkkänslan.

Robinia is the preferred material for KOMPAN’s nature inspired playgrounds. Known as Black Locust in its native USA, it is now an intercontinental plant, having first been introduced to Europe just over four centuries ago.

The Robinia tree itself is a triumph of nature. As a tree, at every level it performs. It grows in poor soils, it feeds nitrogen into the earth encouraging other plants, it flowers to be the source of Acadia honey, its leaves breathe out Co2. It adapts well in urban areas, gracing many boulevards and streets. When cut as timber, the stump regenerates and grows back quickly. It is highly sustainable. The timber is fine-grained, strong and resilient; it naturally repels fungi and bugs - the perfect material for long-lasting nature based playgrounds.
