Just as seemingly boundless as its title, so too is the object it describes. The design duo Kaptein Roodnat developed a fantastic plan for De Paradijsvogel Elementary School. A bright green tube starts as a railing at the main entrance and then winds its way in all sorts of curves across the playground. Along the way, the structure takes on all kinds of forms that challenge the children to play on or with it, such as a basket for a ball game, a seat, a slide, or a climbing pole. The tube then pierces through the auditorium wall, where it takes on various functions relevant to the interior space, such as a curtain rod near the stage, seating, or a hangout spot.

The idea was inspired by Jacques Tati's film "Mon Oncle. During the visit of some dignitaries to Plastac, his brother-in-law's tube factory, employee monsieur Hulot (Tati himself) pushes all kinds of buttons on a machine that produces tubes. As a result, the machine goes haywire and the quantity and shape of the tube become uncontrollable.

Kaptein and Roodnat, who have been working together since 2000, were nominated with their design for "The Bird of Paradise" the Design Prize Rotterdam 2007. Not surprising since the two have realized several exceptional projects since their studies at the Eindhoven Design Academy in the late 1990s. Their designs range from objects to interiors for domestic and foreign clients such as fashion house Mandarina Duck in Paris and the Martinez Gallery in New York. All stand out because they look super simple, but are extremely functional. Even the concept for the tube seems so stunningly simple. That the object works well is evidenced by the observation made by the Rotterdam city curator in the catalog accompanying the Design Prize: the tube is almost continuously entirely "covered with child.

In 2012, Kaptein Roodnat’s unique artwork was removed from De Paradijsvogel elementary school. The artwork has found a new home at De Drentse Hoek elementary school in the Escamp district. The designers adapted their design to the new location at the time. For example, the tube at De Drentse Hoek no longer runs through the building, and this time it has a slightly different color. However, the tube still twists and turns. Just like the schoolchildren.
