OPENART highlights ÖrebroBostäder, one of our partners during 2024-2025
ÖrebroBostäder AB (ÖBO) is proud to be a partner of OPENART. These projects are a part of ÖBO's work on social sustainability, aiming to create lively, engaging spaces for the city's residents. This fits in with ÖBO's guidelines for green areas.
We see our living spaces as a whole, where architecture, design, art and cultural heritage work together. By involving artists early in projects, ÖBO makes sure art is a key part of developing and managing residential areas.

Play Areas for Children
An important part of ÖBO's social sustainability work is creating areas that bring joy and creativity to children and youth. Natural elements like logs, stones, and plants are used instead of traditional playground equipment, encouraging creative play and interaction with nature.
Some examples:
Vivalla: Artist Pontus Johansson, in collaboration with children from Gemensam Förening in Vivalla, designed a playground from children's perspectives.
Krönikegatan: The artistic duo Erik Rören and Signe Johannessen, with the groups Starka Broar and Gemensam Förening, created the sculptures “Knytkalaset” and ”Hortus Publica”, as a part of a new park, an oasis for gardening, food, play and relaxation.

Hållstugan: Artist Anna Moderato creates a paving pattern, where children and a choreographer developed a dance that became the design.
Amanda Nordqvist: Creates an art piece for Hållstugan, inspired by the colors of Örebro's many stucco facades.

Using natural stuff like logs and stones instead of regular playground gear is such a smart move. Kids get to play creatively and connect with nature at the same time.

Using art to bring youth into the design process is really clever, that is something we could learn when making climate decisions that will affect generations to come!
