A story
of a sculptor
KOMPAN was founded in Denmark in 1970 by sculptor Tom Lindhardt and his co-founder Hans Mogens Fenne-Frederiksen. The concept of play sculptures for children was born thanks to children's immediate fascination with Tom Lindhardt's playful sculptures. Today, KOMPAN's beautiful and timeless playgrounds support his ongoing goal of co-creating and shaping healthier and happier communities around the world through play and fitness solutions.
