School furniture

Adolescence is a period of intense physical, cognitive and social change, during which the body, the way young people interact and their learning styles evolve at a rapid pace. Adolescent students no longer have the same needs as primary school children, but they are not yet adults either: they occupy an in-between stage that requires careful attention to how they…

Universities and vocational training centres have one distinctive feature compared to other stages of education: their users are adults. These are students who spend long hours on campus, alternating between lectures and independent and group work, and who need spaces that are adapted to rhythms and uses very different from those of a nursery or primary school classroom. When designing…

For years, the Mia school chair has been one of the most common pieces of furniture in the classrooms fitted out by Mirplay School, thanks to its versatility and its ability to adapt to different educational spaces. Now comes its natural successor: the Lia school chair, which embodies that same functional spirit and takes it a step further, with a…

Every new school year is a good opportunity to check the condition of the school furniture and get the classroom ready before the pupils arrive. You don’t always need to buy everything new: sometimes it’s enough to check what you already have, reorganise the space and only add what’s really missing. Below is a handy checklist to help you get…

Even today, school furniture is still purchased in the same way as it was twenty years ago: from a catalogue, based on price, or because it looks good in the school’s promotional photos. But hardly anyone asks what happens afterwards, when that piece of furniture spends six hours a day in contact with a child’s body and brain. An uncomfortable…

Furniture for primary school classrooms must be adapted to the different ways in which pupils learn. Throughout the school day, pupils carry out individual tasks, take part in lessons, work in teams and share ideas with the rest of the class. For this reason, the layout of the space and the choice of school furniture play an important role in…

STEAM classrooms are designed for learning by doing and reflect a new way of understanding educational spaces. They are environments where science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics are explored in a practical and multidisciplinary way. School furniture therefore plays a key role: it must encourage creativity, experimentation, concentration and teamwork. The STEAM approach involves spaces designed with different types of…

The nursery classroom, as well as being a place of learning, is also an environment where children begin to develop habits and routines. Learning to put their belongings away, access materials or choose a story independently is part of their development and their relationship with their surroundings. In this regard, the school furniture we choose for the nursery stage plays…

Educational spaces have changed. Today, classrooms need to adapt to more dynamic teaching methods, encourage student independence and provide comfortable, functional environments that are suited to different types of learning. Against this backdrop, we are launching our new collection of school furniture, accompanied by a new brand identity and a revamped catalogue designed to inspire educational institutions. The new range…

In early childhood education, the classroom space also teaches. The classroom is one of the first environments where children discover, explore, interact, and begin to build their own learning. Therefore, beyond being functional, it should also convey warmth, safety, and well-being. Wooden school furniture is especially suitable for creating this type of environment. Its natural aesthetics, durability, and ability to…
