Life without a swing
is a misunderstanding.
Hugo Kükelhaus
APE Studio is changing the landscape of play in America so that all children have access to play areas that challenge them, inspire them, and help them to grow into self-determined individuals.
Play Value
We are the partners of Richter Spielgeräte, makers of original playground equipment, and moveART, creators of inspiring social sculptures.
Together with our partners, we work with landscape architects and other playground planners to create play spaces where children feel free, where families feel at home, and where communities come together.
Safety
We firmly believe that growing children thrive when they determine for themselves how they play and how far they can go. The best play spaces offer young people graduated challenges to stretch their bodies, experience risk, and test their developing abilities. We understand, too, that safety is a serious concern. For this reason, all of our products designed for installation in the U.S. addresses the ASTM and CPSC requirements for public playground safety.
Quality
All of our products are crafted using long-lasting materials such as wood and stainless steel that are known for aging beautifully. Combined with outstanding designs and straightforward construction, our equipment is made for maximum play value. We think of play for all—with equipment made to activate the senses and to accommodate diverse abilities and ages, including teens and adults.

Nature and its resources are near to our hearts. For this reason, our equipment is carefully designed and produced using time-tested techniques and consciously sourced materials. We choose simple components that reflect natural forms and put children directly in touch with elements from nature.
