Buglo sets new trends in the world of playgrounds. The company has presented a one-of-a-kind series of equipment - the Flora Play collection, which is about to transform the look of children's playgrounds. The use of natural materials, memorable design, and harmonious integration with the surrounding nature make the modular Flora Play series stand out from the previously known play equipment.
Common associations with playgrounds often revolve around similar objects - classic playhouses, ladders, slides, or swings. This time, Buglo decided to break away from the standard form of children's equipment by introducing the Flora Play collection. What makes it unique? Above all, it superbly mimics the natural environment. The colour scheme, form, and materials used seamlessly blend into the space, creating an impression of harmony between the product and nature.
The leading inspiration for the creation of the new playground series was nature, specifically pampas grass, miscanthus, and reeds. The new equipment combines natural elements with play functions, such as climbing, pulling up, or sliding. As a result, their design significantly stands out from commonly known play structures.
“We aimed to create a line of equipment that would not only imitate nature in its shape but also in the materials used," says Andrzej Sas, a member of Buglo Play's Board. "The Flora Play collection, which we are proud of, is the result of our designers' work on creating equipment that looks like a natural element of the environment. The new shape of the playground encourages the youngest to explore its functionality and allows them to feel close to nature.”
Flora Play is a complementary collection to many already available Buglo offerings. It perfectly complements, among others, the Organiq series inspired by animal shapes. Creating a playground composed of equipment from both collections allows for the formation of a unique realm straight from nature.
The design of the new equipment will blend perfectly into various arrangements," says Andrzej Sas, a member of Buglo Play's Board. "Urban parks, gardens, or squares will become almost natural surroundings for the Flora Play playground. On the other hand, modern and densely built neighborhoods, lacking green areas, can have a visual substitute in the form of this functional collection. In the Flora Play series, we used Robinia wood, known for its exceptional resistance to external factors without the need for impregnation. Children's contact with the texture of natural wood stimulates their senses.
Architects responsible for creating urban spaces enthusiastically welcome the new collection. They see significant design potential and are encouraged to utilize the unique equipment design presented by Buglo.
"When thinking about a playground, I always strive to create inspiring spaces that allow children to engage in creative play, interact with nature, and appreciate beautiful details," says Urszula Michalska from the landscape architecture studio Kształtownia.pl. "The commonly used Robinia elements nowadays are fantastic and versatile materials for arranging such park playgrounds. The ability to combine clean wooden elements with modern, steel, and simple structures offers a multitude of possibilities for creating beautiful children's areas. The new Flora Play series, which starts with structures inspired by grasses, allows for the creation of many inspiring combinations. Limiting the colour palette of the children's space to 2 - 3 colours, adding a natural surface, and combining equipment with other proposals from Buglo, like those from the Robinia Play series or the popular Organiq Mantis, amid trees, shrubs, and water play, will help create a fairy-tale-like playground full of greenery and challenges."
The Flora Play collection has been available in Buglo's offerings since the beginning of August. Soon, the equipment from this new series will also become a part of playgrounds in various corners of the world.
