Soft Furnishings for Flexible Classrooms and Libraries in New Zealand


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.

Built for Movement. Designed for Learning.
Whether you're furnishing a reading corner, flexible classroom, or staff breakout area, our soft furnishings are designed to support your pedagogy and adapt to your space. Lightweight, colourful and durable, Furnware’s soft seating makes comfort part of the learning journey.
