It's Friday and we are so ready to do some PLAYing over the weekend. To get you inspired, we've got this round's winners for the Core77 and Braun Design in the Wild photo challenge. Readers from around the world submitted every day objects of PLAY ranging from nostalgic toys from childhood to whimsical found landscapes. We loved that some PLAY-things are iconic no matter where you're from: ropes for tug-of-war, boardgames, legos and rubik's cubes. But most importantly, we recognized the joy and delight in everyday objects for play.
JURY WINNER
Let's Play a Tune!
Paul Bennett, United States
This is the Floyd-Rose style floating bridge on my Guitar. I love to play surf music and the floating bridge makes it a snap. Sometimes adjustments can be tricky but it is worth it in the end. The colored balls are the strings, each size string has a different color to help prevent them from getting mixed up during restring operations.
POPULAR WINNER
2,000 filaments
Jennifer DiMase, United States
The Koosh ball has always been a favorite toy of mine. Colorful, soft, tossable, lively. It's a delightfully simple concept: a ball composed of 2,000 natural rubber filaments.
