The Platonic solids

In 388 B.C. Plato developed stable solid structures, known today as the five Plato­nic solids. Platonic solids are completely regular bodies. Their faces consist of equally size, equilateral and equally angled polygons. In each vertex of a Platonic body the same amount of faces meet. All outer frame structures of our play equipment go back to Plato. All five Platonic solids have been realized by now and we continuous­ly develop them further and vary them in new ways.

Thus Berliner Seilfabrik combines old knowledge with latest technology. The result is exciting as well as intelligent play equipment.

The five Platonic forms find their imple­mentation in play equipment such as in Jupiter and in the Pentagonea equipment (from left to right). Jupiter represents the first basic shape for an outer frame with spatial play net spaces and is still very popular.
