The power supply in the school

A break-time sandwich is not enough to get through a long day at school. By lunchtime at the latest, everyone needs to refuel – and an inviting canteen is exactly the right place.

But eating is not the only thing that happens here. The canteen is also a place where everyone in the school can meet and talk. It is where everyone who learns, lives and works in the school can get together.

The furniture must cater for all this variety. The tables can quickly be arranged in stimulating rows where large numbers of people can sit and eat. Smaller tables can be used to extend these arrangements as required.

Last but not least, a canteen must be practical and easy to maintain. Here, it is the little details in the furniture that make all the difference: Are the tables and chairs robust enough to withstand the demands of everyday school life? Can the surfaces be wiped clean easily? Can the chairs be suspended on or under the table top in order to sweep the floor? We think of this type of detail when we start to design our furniture and incorporate them in our products.
