School Playground Furniture

Schools make up a large part of our work. Over the years we've made storytelling chairs, benches, arches, planters, instruments, signs and play structures for schools across the UK — from small village primaries to large secondaries and SEN settings.

Most pieces in this collection have been developed in conversation with teachers, librarians and outdoor learning coordinators. Some were designed by the children themselves.

Everything is built from solid wood in our workshop in Mid Wales, and made to last well beyond a single school generation.
