Flexible classroom for lessons and afternoon care

The classroom is home to the children in elementary school: they often experience both lessons and after-school care here. How can the classroom be designed to provide variety?


Flexible school furniture helps here, allowing the classroom to be transformed in an instant, for example mobile student desks, stackable benches and student chairs as well as lightweight floor mats.


For example, the classroom can be equipped with seating groups for lessons where cooperative forms of learning can take place. In the afternoon, they move to the edge and provide space for homework supervision. Tables that are not needed are stacked to one side and open up new space: like here for a seating circle made of floor mats for active learning and play.
