PlayPod
Urban and Public Furniture Design
Τhe PlayPod is a structure meant to offer opportunities for spontaneous and unplanned play. An organic form echoing nature’s seemingly random sculptures, a cross between a cave and a marine organism manufactured using recycled marine gear through the process of robotic-arm large scale 3D printing. Aimed to inspire and encourage children to create their own play narrative rather than dictate it, while promoting awareness on plastic recycling and aspects of circular economy. The PlayPod is 100% recyclable. Developed by Konstantinos Skopas (Koncave) as a Master thesis project for the International Hellenic University, in collaboration with BlueCycle and the New Raw.
