Our Standards and Certifications

 

Furnware’s dedication to innovation and design excellence has earned recognition across multiple national and international design awards.

Most recently, the Bodyfurn Flex range received a 2025 Good Design Award, celebrating its user-centred design, exceptional comfort, and sustainable construction - made from over 90% recycled material. It’s one of several Furnware products recognised for design that’s smarter, more sustainable, and made to support the way students learn.

We're born and bred in New Zealand, and with offices in NZ, Australia, and Singapore - and dedicated education experts on the ground across the globe - our teams are strategically positioned to support educators across the globe.
