The conceptual 'Adjustable Pivot Seesaw' is a customization-focused fixture for the playground that will work to let children of all sizes enjoy a lively experience, while also learning a science lesson at the same time. The seesaw features the same basic aesthetic as a traditional playground fixture, but features an adjustable design that will allow kids to change the fulcrum position according to who will be using it. This will allow children of any age or size to play together and also teach kids about equilibrium for a touch of science education as they ride.
The conceptual 'Adjustable Pivot Seesaw' is the design work of Lu Xinhui and is the winner of the 2019 Red Dot Design Concept Award.
