At Furnware, we create soft furnishings that are as comfortable as they are durable—perfect for classrooms, kindergartens, libraries and shared learning spaces across New Zealand. Whether you're designing a vibrant reading corner or a calm breakout zone, our flexible soft seating is made to move, mix, and match to suit your school’s needs.
From bright and playful
ottomans to versatile
bean bags and
booth-style couches, our furniture supports everything from mat time in junior schools to reflection spaces in senior common rooms.
Create Comfortable and Colourful Reading Spaces
Encourage a love of reading with soft seating that’s made for libraries, classrooms and quiet nooks. Our
reading chairs,
cookie pads and
Picnic Pads invite students of all ages to settle in and stay engaged—whether indoors or outdoors.
Choose from a wide range of colours and fabrics, from calm neutrals to bold primary tones. The right colour scheme can transform a learning space, helping even the most reluctant readers feel right at home.
Modular Seating That Works Around Your Space
Our soft furnishings are designed to adapt with your layout.
Base Ottomans,
Benches, and
Couches can be easily reconfigured to suit different learning modes - solo focus, group work, or social downtime.
Pair a Base Bench with a
Round Table for collaborative seating, or slide a
Base Round Ottoman under a
Clover Table to save space. Want soft seating with smart storage? Our
Seating Tote Trolley does both - ideal for classrooms with limited room.
Soft Seating for Every Learner
Furnware’s soft furnishings range includes flexible seating options for both younger and older students. The
Akiako Splat comes in two sizes for breakout areas, while the Base Booth Couch offers a quiet, enclosed space for reading, reflection or paired collaboration.
For floor-based learning, our colourful
Cookie Pads offer comfortable, mobile seating, while the
Picnic Pad makes outdoor learning both practical and fun.
Statement Pieces That Spark Curiosity
Create bold, flexible zones with modular pieces like the Pod Set,
Base Curve Couch or
Base Mod Couch. These soft seating solutions can be grouped into engaging shapes or separated for quieter, individual spaces - perfect for multipurpose classrooms, common rooms or library zones.
