Accessories: Indoor Swing
September 30th, 2008
From Julie:
The first architect-designed house I spent time in (by Harvard GSD professor Paul Mitarchi) was outfitted with an indoor swing. While the grownups discussed politics and drank wine, the children swung on the swing. This photo reminded me that for those lucky enough to live in large spaces with high ceilings, an indoor swing is a welcome diversion.
Below: The Skagerak Teak Swing is currently on sale for $152.58 at Teak, Wicker & More.
Below: The Tunto Keinu Swing from Finnish workshop Tunto Design is available at Rose and Radish in SF. Made of layered birch plywood, it’s available in green, light blue, or red for $250.

One small part of me wants to say that this looks fantastic. But a much greater part is screaming out that the whole idea is just way too anal and overpriced. I pity any children that would have to live in such a stark environment. Given the costs, I doubt the swing owner would allow any kids nearby.

I am moving into a minimalist loft in a few weeks with three small children and we’ll absolutely have a swing. Kids don’t care about environments, they care about attention and love and comfortable clothes and music–but not very much about how things look. It’s more about how things feel.
The plank is fine if you’re outside at some cabin…but an inside swing has to step it up a bit.
