iUpiiii! Play and design for children at Usina del Arte
At La Usina del Arte, the City of Buenos Aires created iUpiiiia new children’s recreational space that offers activities that stimulate the development of children between 0 and 3 years old. El Espartano was called upon to develop the carpets for this sector that stands out for its innovation and great design. iUpiiii was created by the multidisciplinary design studio Cinco together with education professionals specialized in early childhood. With light and sound designs, bridges, slides and interactive tiles, the space is divided into 8 themed environments, each with colorful games that awaken all the senses. The carpets selected for the area stand out for their high quality and texture, ideal for a project that revolves around sensory stimulation.
Pallas was one of the two rugs chosen for iUpiiii. It is one of the most resistant and high quality products of El Espartano: moquette type, it has a cut pile texture and is woven with nylon yarns that guarantee its durability. On this occasion, a Pallas in a neutral beige tone was chosen to highlight the colorful play area.
At the same time, the games are delimited by our electric-colored Finnish carpet, made and cut especially for this project. Its soft and fluffy texture is ideal for this space both for its visual quality and for the extra protection against possible falls and has a great effect at a sensory level, very important for stimulation at an early age.
