This sizable playground installation is the result of a collaboration between Helsinki-based designer Janine Rewell and Aino Heikkinen. The project is built for Habitare which is known as "the largest interior design convention in Finland."
Arranging their submission with little ones in mind, Rewell and Heikkinen's work is bursting by the seam with whimsicality. The playful arrangement boasts a soft 40-meter long caterpillar, a gorgeous dragonfly table, bug mobile and more. It is evident that the inspirations are rooted in the aesthetics of outdoor critters.
The playground installation is free to be utilized by kids and it promises to deliver a fun, dreamy experience — from the softness of the lengthy pillow-like caterpillar to the creativity-boosting, ultra-vibrant surface of the dragonfly table design. Janine Rewell and Aino Heikkinen definitely produced a playground installation that is worthy of being in the Habitare round-up.
