KOMPAN’s Robinia Products – Utilizing Sustainable Forestry Methods

Putting nature in the game. The idea behind KOMPAN Robinia represents a new way of designing the playground.

KOMPAN takes a unique, holistic approach to creating a play area in order to stimulate children’s interest in nature and introduce an understanding of nature into their lives. They incorporate any already existing natural features of the site – a little brook, trees, a small hill, for example – into the final design. The result is a fun, rich and rewarding place for children to explore. Kids can then turn the playground into anything they want – even in the deepest urban environment!

Robinia’s natural materials and appearance make it ideal for park settings as well as other areas where the surroundings call for natural-looking play equipment. And it fits equally well into urban play environments, where it can create a magical forest right in the city.

KOMPAN’s dedication to high quality products, while using environmentally friendly methods and materials, can be seen in their “Robinia” product line. It features Robinia wood, an extremely durable wood that is obtained through sustainable forestry due to it’s rapid growth.
