räuberleiter
2009

problem statement
game stations, smart phones, eating habits and other cultural movements influence kids in their development.
as a result of this movement a lot of kids tend to spend more time at home, become lazy and unathletic.

concept
räuberleiter (analog to the english expression (to) give so. a leg up) is a proactive solution to this developement. its naming actually cannot be directly translated. the first part, räuber (engl. robber) implicates forbidden activities which attract a lot of kids. the second part leiter (engl. ladder) communicates the functional aspect of this toy.
by using räuberleiter kids are able to climb even trees that are usally to big.
it can be used as a grappling hook, a liane, a ladder, a swing and whatever comes to ones mind.
