A strikingly design-forward and whimsical playground has opened doors in a Chinese shopping center. Titled 'The Shenzhen Neobio Family Park,' the experience proves to be quite majestic, for both young and old.
Built by X+ Living, the whimsical playground boasts "a polka-dot slide into a ball pit and giant pastel parasols." The color palette is rich, embracing a wide array of colors, including pastel and deeper nuances. The play area is not just for show, however. It actually comes in tandem with a restaurant. That is, the structural development by X+ Living fits into the category of "parent and child restaurants," where the grown-up can enjoy their dish and company in peace, while the child is interacting with others and enjoying the whimsical playground.
