Description
Furnware was there back in the ‘50’s when education was a little buttoned up.
Straight rows, straight backs and eyes front. But things changed and we relished the chance to spend more time in schools, talking to everyone we could about what they needed for better learning. We discovered a lot and learned furniture didn’t always measure up.
Nobody had ever done meaningful research into the changing shape and make up of children in New Zealand. So we did it. In 2003 we measured over 20,000 long, short, bulky, bony kids around the country. It completely changed the way we designed and built furniture – because we believed in better learning and proved there was a better way.
And that’s what drives us - working hand in hand with schools the world over, finding the best way for children to thrive in the most inspiring learning spaces imaginable.
- Spaces that fuel curiosity.
- Ignite delight.
- Unleash imagination.
We work hard to truly connect with the individual aspirations of our schools and then we deliver with quality, timeliness, innovation, reliability and genuine care. Everything we create is designed to stand the test of time, with an eagle eye on the future.
Because we take this as personally as you do. Every single person at Furnware aims to help every single child in your classrooms to grow, expand and be their best. To be at the heart of the wonder of learning.
We are always on the lookout for excellent talent. If you have what it takes and would like to work for us, please forward your CV to jobs@furnware.co.nz
