A wonderful selection of suburban playgrounds and parks circa 1970: robot slides, space cruiser climbing frames and more.

Playgrounds From the 70’s (via Divine Caroline)

NOTE: I submitted this to BoingBoing earlier today (you’re more than welcome, Caroline) – and here it is! Although I’m pretty sure the link broke my blog, I feel strangely honoured.

Unfortunately, these stackable storage boxes disguised as child-sized robot seats are not available to buy. It’s a concept product designed by Guus Oosterbaan. We can but dream for its inclusion in next seasons Ikea range. (Via Yanko Design, who incidentally today are also featuring the most unsuitable hanging light of all time. Unless you’re a very sick parent.)
