Learning Spaces Global

Learning Spaces Global We create plywood furniture inspired by nature for schools. 100% Kiwi owned. Made in Nelson, NZ since 2006. Far from it!

'Furniture that respects learning'

As we have progressed into the 21st century, it has become clear that learning spaces must evolve. No longer can we persist with educational environments that were designed to fulfil the needs of education in a rising industrial age over 100 years ago. We must adapt our learning spaces to help our youth develop and succeed in a dynamic world of rapidly advancing

technology. Does this mean our mission is to put every child in a box with a computer? Grocare sees the need for providing youth with adequate space and resources to discover and search out what is most important to them as unique individuals. We believe that open learning space provides youth with the right environment to take on a self-directed approach to learning. They should be able to draw from their surrounding environment to make choices about what they want to learn and the pace in which they learn it. Loris Malaguzzi stated the importance of the learning environment way back in the 1940’s, defining it as the “Third Teacher.”

“There are three teachers of children: adults, other children and their physical environment.”
Loris Malaguzzi

Therefore our purpose at Grocare is “To create innovative and safe environments that assist in the development of youth.”

Cosy booth seating. Warm textures. A library that whispers "sit down and stay a while."

Birkenhead Primary wanted more than bookshelves. They wanted a space that made students feel >> curious, calm, connected. 🦌🦴🍂 So that's exactly what we built. Part library. Part museum. All heart.

“A huge thank you from the crew at LSG for supporting our project and being so flexible when we needed to change direction… Their expertise meant that we ended up with products that will be highly valued and enjoyed by our community for years to come.” - Horowhenua Libraries
