An aquatic play solution that helps children’s cognitive and physical development has been recognised with a design award from the Chicago Athenaeum.
Water Journey, from Montreal, Canada-based company Vortex, is a waterplay structure made up of four sections: Labyrinth, Jet Dance, Race and Tide Pool. The sections can be connected together or installed individually. It recreates the natural behaviours and states of water – for example, as creeks, flood plains, ripples and cascades.
“Water Journey is an example of how we try to think about play differently,” said Vortex CEO Stephen Hamelin. “It enables social, physical and cognitive development of children through playing with water but not necessarily getting wet.”
Water Journey was chosen for a Good Design Award – accolades for innovation in product and graphic design – by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design, in cooperation with the European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies.
The product was developed alongside design firms Dikini and Daily Tous les Jours and has previously won a Grands Prix du Design award for Best Street Furniture.
