The Butterfly Double is a transparent, social, climbing magnet for children. The elegantly curved wings and their twisted climbers invite climbing attempts again and again. The blue membranes accentuate the shapes and climbing journeys possible and add a central meeting spot in the intriguing climbing-scape. There are rich physical challenges in climbing the twisted nets or reaching the top faster via the Curved Climbers. Climbing the Butterfly develops cross-coordination and balancing techniques, which stimulate the child’s ability to control movements and ultimately to move confidently through the world. Thanks to the transparency of the Butterfly nets, the children can see each other and communicate across the Butterfly, and from the ground level to the top. At ground level communication is made possible across the ground with the talking tubes, a highly intriguing play detail for children. Two blue, swaying pods invite fun meetings for two, four or more children together. The moire effect patterns on the three Optic Panels inspire wonder: they look different depending on how children focus their eyes, which adds to discussion and logical thinking skills.

Play value is the value gained from play, the value that makes the child “want” or developmentally “need” to undertake the activity and thus gives the play item holding power. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.

Turnable optic panels of two 7mm thick polycarbonate plates with a distance of 40mm. The inside graphic print consist of an inner image layer and outer transparent protection layer. Both PC panel and the water-based lacquer are UV stabilized to prevent fading of the print.
Hangout pod designed with a welded frame of two steel rings which are hot dip galvanized and powder coated. The membrane consist of friction-proof rubberized material of conveyor belt quality with excellent UV resistance.
Colored steel components have a base of hot dip galvanization and a powder coated top finish. This provides an ultimate corrosion resistance in all climates around the world. Other steel surfaces are hot dip galvanized inside and outside with lead free zinc.
Corocord ropes with 19mm diameter or more are special 'Hercules' - type with galvanized six-stranded steel wires. Each strand is tightly wrapped with PES yarn, which is melted onto each individual strand. The ropes are highly wear-and vandalism-resistant and can be replaced at site if needed.
Corocord 'S' clamps are used as universal connections in Corocord products. 8mm stainless steel rods with rounded edges are pressed around the ropes with a special hydraulic press, making them the ideal connector: safe, durable and vandalism-proof, all while allowing the typical movement of rope play structures.
The rope is fixed to the large steel pipe by a unique KOMPAN designed tightening solution. It consists of inner and outer nylon (PA6) bushings that guides the rope to an outside threaded aluminum part that tighten the rope.

The overall framework applied for these factors is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which quantifies "environmental information on the life cycle of a product and enables comparisons between products fulfilling the same function" (ISO, 2006). This follows the structure and applies a Life-Cycle Assessment approach to the entire Product stage from raw material through manufacturing (A1-A3).
