Quito™ (pronounced KEE-toe) is a freestanding net climber that takes kids on a journey to the center of the web. Inspired by Quito™, Ecuador’s capital city closest to the equator and the world’s second-highest official capital city, our Quito™ stands a towering 15.54’ (4,74m) high.
Its daring, distinctive design offers a commanding, compelling playground presence. Children will feel like geometric spelunkers as they climb, balance, and teeter their way in, over, and through the colorful center. With multiple points of entry, Quito™ includes an easy passage to the center, as well as a cozy space underneath.
The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design and Metropolitan Arts Press Ltd. present the Museum’s GOOD DESIGN® Awards Program for the most innovative and cutting-edge industrial, product, and graphic designs produced around the world.
Quito™ provides three levels of play opportunities from the inside out. Playground adventurers will love Quito’s™ flexible rope elements which provide a fun challenge while exercising children’s balance and proprioception. Bells at the top and ground-level provide an opportunity for social game play. Quito™ Climber’s easy passage gives everyone the chance to visit the center, where colorful panels and crisscrossing ropes create a unique environment!
The Quito™ suspended core offers social hangout opportunities or an area for rest with a sense of enclosure, a sensory bell, and colorful triangle windows. The core’s triangle roof is reachable by climbing higher, offering an increase in climbing challenge.
