Designed to encourage a playful, fun, auditory experience, this playground in Shanghai features oversized, horn-shaped speaker tubes.

Japanese designer Yuri Suzuki created the vision, which is whimsical and inviting, thanks to the bright colors, and tactile nature of the horns.

No electronic components were used, meaning the sculpture is entirely acoustic, and encourages experimentation with sound.
