The Blue Whale12. May2012
Monstrum playground objects are created in a way to stimulate children's imagination while they learn and play in the same time. Those incredible creations make any playground the most searched place in the city for parents and their children. You will want to have one of these objects in your city, for sure I want one of this in Bucharest.
"Göteborg municipality invited MONSTRUM to participate in developing an area of the new playground in the Plikta park, Göteborg. MONSTRUM designed in collaboration with the municipality and Tyréns, a blue whale and 6 sharks. The theme was inspired by the History Museum in Gothenburg, which has a popular collection of blue whales. Tyréns is one of the leading consulting firms in Sweden dealing with communication, planning and architecture. Plikta playground included a larger park renewal and involved several playground suppliers." - from press kit
"What is better than being swallowed up by a blue whale on a Sunday morning or maybe on a Tuesday afternoon? The whale is the world’s largest mammal, weighing over 120 tons, It occurs in many stories like: Pinocchio and Moby Dick! The whale swims peacefully away in the vast ocean between seaweed and sharks! and a lot of kids! The kids love to challenge there imagination and motor skills. That is the beginning of a good game." - Monstrum 
"You can climb up on to the whale’s back, either by crawling through the mouth and into the stomach.You can also crawl through the hole in the side and into the basket, that sits on the back of the whale and take the slide down.
Daredevils and older children can climb onto the giant tail fins and look down and sit in hiding from parents and young children." - Monstrum
