Solutions

School Library Furniture

Shelving, tables and reading areas for pupils of all ages, designed for intensive daily use and for spaces that change throughout the day.

Designed for learners

Reading, studying and learning in one space

In a school library, the same space is used for reading, studying, group work and lessons. We study the space, the collection and its users, then design a tailored solution: shelving at pupils’ height, tables for individual or group work and welcoming reading areas.

We work closely with the school and with each project’s architects, from first study to final installation.
