Playground design does not always need to tell children exactly what to imagine. Sometimes, the most powerful design leaves room for children to create their own stories.
Some playground designs tell children exactly what to see. Jinkyu Choi, Senior Concept Designer at Lappset, wanted Prime to do something different. “We avoided forms that feel visually loud or overly literal. Instead, we wanted Prime to remain open to interpretation, like a cloud or a constellation.”
Prime’s design language was created to feel warm, welcoming, and open-ended. Its forms are familiar, but not fixed. They invite children to see, imagine, and interpret the playground in their own way. Because when a design does not define the story too tightly, every child has space to create one of their own.
