Lappset`s design philosophy

Lappset`s design philosophy originates to the 1970s. At that point, the design was driven by how to create different equipment concepts for both children and adults, to make it unique and modular, and how to utilize raw materials nearby (northern pine).

These facts of course still affect Lappset`s design, but nowadays the design is concentrating deeper to human centred expertise on play, recreation, and sports. We want to offer focused complete solutions to our customers and be visionary pioneers in innovation, design, and responsibility. Lappset highly values collaboration with top professionals from various fields during the product development process.

The Senior Sport concept design beautifully manifests the distinctive attributes of Lappset design. Its engaging aspects are seen through thoughtfully arranged equipment that promotes both solo and communal activities, encouraging seniors to socialize, engage and exercise. The design's approachability is mirrored in the intuitive layout and user-friendly equipment, welcoming seniors regardless of their fitness level.

But is the design guiding to the right kind of movement and are the exercises actually beneficial?
