What is educational furniture?

Educational furniture is the seating, tables, storage and specialist equipment designed specifically for learning environments.

Unlike standard office furniture, it needs to withstand heavy daily use, meet safety standards for different age groups and support a wide range of activities, from focused study and group work to dining and play.

Good educational furniture is functional, durable and adaptable. It supports different teaching styles, fits the age and size of the students using it and helps staff make the most of every square metre. Whether you’re furnishing a single classroom or fitting out an entire campus, the right furniture makes a measurable difference to how a space feels and performs.

University of Oxford, King Edward Street

For this project, we developed a comprehensive design and layout to maximise the use of space across three floors while creating a contemporary and inviting atmosphere. We achieved this by incorporating flexible working options like height-adjustable desks and acoustic pods for focused work, as well as biophilic design elements like live moss wall panels.

Reception Counters – Haberdashers Knights Academy

We worked with the School Head and Business Manager at Haberdasher’s Knights Academy to create a modern, vibrant space with distinct areas for collaboration and social study, and a quiet area for students to fully focus on revising and homework. We chose education furniture that not only fit the space and style, but that was also hardwearing and functional.

London South Bank University’s Passmore Centre

The Passmore Centre was a new business and networking hub for the university, which required a variety of flexible space for both mentoring and teaching. Our proposals sought to retain as much of the original building, an original Grade listed former library, as possible, complementing the architect's design but also providing the functionality required by end users.
