Gregg Fleishman's patented 'Plagoda' design made its debut at the 2010 LA Dwell on Design in July. The imaginative little playhouse is just one of Fleishman's flat-packed playhouse designs.
The multifunctional play structure is made of birch and polycarbonate with tab fasteners. It features a slide and nylon climbing rope. The flat-packed playhouse is easily shipped and impressively engineered. It is just one of the 'cluster structures' that Fleishman has designed.
