Description

The current industry is dominated by plastic and short-lived toys. KAR-TU modular play structure is challenging the existing market solutions by showing what an alternative could look like - the one that grows together with the child and their development needs at different stages. KAR-TU encourages sustainability practices not only by extending the product's life, but also by utilizing locally sourced wood and implementing local production through collaboration with local organisation - TimberBank that utilizes typhoon felled trees and forestry waste for the production of designs.
