Playgrounds made from robinia wood are gaining more and more attention, and our collection based on this material is now Buglo’s best-selling range. And no wonder – robinia wood has a beautifully natural look, is exceptionally durable and requires no impregnation at all.
At this year’s FSB trade fair in Cologne, we unveiled more new additions to our Robinia Play range. The nine-metre tower impressed visitors with its size and design. At the fair, we paired it with a smaller tower to highlight their visual coherence and to show how well this combination works on playgrounds used by children of different ages.
It’s not just the height that makes these new structures stand out. For the first time, the product has been combined with an educational game. It’s all about searching and discovering surprises hidden inside the tower. A child draws a floor they need to reach and a shape they must find. Once they locate the chosen symbol, a superpower awaits underneath, along with a QR code. After scanning the code, a fun educational fact pops up, linked to that specific superpower.
The game makes play even more engaging and encourages children to climb all the way to the top. It’s a fantastic way to motivate little ones to be active and push their own limits, while also introducing an element of learning and purposeful fun.
During our Buglo Experts Circle sessions, including those with Przemek Staroń, we’re often reminded of how important diversity is on a playground. It’s what ensures that every child can find something for themselves, take on a challenge, try something a bit harder and grow – physically, emotionally and socially.
That’s exactly why we created our connected towers, designed to suit children with different abilities and to help them build courage and confidence step by step.
The nearly nine-metre-tall Mega Robinia has reached the finals of the 2025 Dobry Wzór competition organised by the Institute of Industrial Design. The structure was recognised in the category Public Spaces and Public Utilities. It’s one of the most prestigious design competitions in Poland, celebrating projects that genuinely enhance the quality of public spaces.
We also can’t forget the true star of this year’s trade fair – the Buglo Truck. This impressive structure grabbed attention from a distance.
It hosted plenty of meetings with clients. It’s a completely different experience compared with seeing a product in a catalogue. Being able to climb onto the structure, touch its elements and walk through the different routes lets you truly feel its scale, quality and sheer fun.
The Truck also offers a space for children who need a moment to unwind. Inside, there are secret passages and hiding spots, for example under the bonnet or inside the wheels, where little ones can take a break from play and sensory overload.
The second newcomer in the vehicle range is the Tractor – the Truck’s smaller sibling. Inside, children can see how a mechanical engine works, how the gearbox operates and how the pistons move. They also get a wrench they can use to tighten bolts on the wheel and arrange them into different patterns. It’s great fun that teaches, develops skills and gives young engineers a real sense of satisfaction.
Our mission is to create playgrounds that combine design, safety and child development. The new robinia wood products fully embody this idea – they’re natural, durable and 100% ready for play.
A huge congratulations to everyone involved in this project, especially Mariusz Starczewski, Radek Górski, Jakub Popławski, Paweł Nosal, Magdalena Pacek and Patryk Kretschmer.
