Tejo Remy's Playground Fence

This playground fence by dutch designer Tejo Remy reminded me of Demakersvan's lace fence (see previous post). The design turns a fairly utilitarian object into something fun. The fence was designed with playgrounds in mind. It features bends and surfaces to sit and play on. I like that the benches and play areas are on both sides of the fence. Fences are normally used to separate space, whereas this invites both sides to interact with each other. (Found through Inhabitat)

This is a great idea. I love it when people find ways to extend the functionality of mundane objects. I've seen metal slat benches and fences around parks all over the world...brilliant!

A great example of good design, function and beauty combined. Superb.

Is this piece in Holland? I can almost hear a local UK council moaning because they think the homeless will sleep under the seating portions of the design.
