In House Design, Engineering, and Fabrication

We create bespoke designs to enhance your world and ours

At Artforms we design and fabricate bespoke playground equipment, informed by our extensive background in childhood education.

We design and create ‘open-ended’ playground equipment which is exciting and stimulating. It encourages exploration, creativity and imagination. A giant fish trap is limited only by a child’s imagination. It becomes a somewhere to hide, a cubbyhouse, a pirate ship, a shop…

We can create anything, from oversized, realistic, climbable creatures to secretive crawlspaces. Our designs encourage children to link their minds and their bodies through discovery, adventure and play.

Water can be incorporated in our designs to add an element of surprise and further stimulate the senses.

Our aim is to extend learning beyond the classroom with our range of nature play accessories. We design using natural and reclaimed materials wherever possible so that our equipment sits beautifully in nature play environments.

Extend enquiring minds with our magnification posts. Children are natural hunter gatherers with an inbuilt compulsion to collect. Their treasures and natural finds can be viewed in detail under the magnifying glass, set above a reclaimed hardwood post.

Care is taken throughout the design and fabrication process to ensure that surfaces are smooth and to prevent finger entrapment.

Our designs are robust enough to survive in a busy play setting, yet still beautiful enough to inspire and support creativity and imagination.
