AMBI

Ambi is a portable play set. It gives kids a space to imagine through building with ambiguous objects.

This project was in collaboration with KGMS, an elementary school for children with learning differences. We were asked to co-create an outdoor space with students from a grade 5 class. Working closely with kids was a great way to tap into our own creativity. Ambi has hard and soft textures to create pieces that could be used for multiple types of sensory play. In our proof of concept meeting, our co-creators built the toy pieces into apartments, knocked them down, and used the same pieces to build something different. The ambiguity of the pieces released boundaries and allowed the kids to re-use and re-combine pieces to endlessly create new scenarios and play situations.
