The Kebony technology lowers demand for tropical hardwoods by providing an alternative timber with comparable performance qualities, which can be grown sustainably. Anne Galmar, Landscape Architect and Partner at VEGA 68 Landscape & Urban Design Landskab commented: “We are very happy about the success of this project as we see the kids just love it, using the loop exactly as we imagined. The Kebony wood fits beautifully into the surroundings, both the natural setting of the forest and the more urban parts with the Skate Park and areas for ball games. We have already used Kebony for Vestvolden playground (built in 2012), so we can see the nice way it weathers, and appreciate that it is safe and toxin-free for the kids.” Mona Gøtske, Sales Manager at Kebony said: “We are absolutely thrilled with this latest project; all three aspects of the new playground are of the highest quality design and will be a fantastic addition to this school.” www.kebony.com
