reverie

the study

A place for contemplation, concentrations and deep thought and an occasional private meeting or intense conference call, the study is if anything a refuge from the mundane. It is a place for the slow kind of thinking where decisions are made and ideas are born. A library, a comfy worn leather chair, a desk with a few hidden compartments and a fireplace perhaps make it all come together. A glass of scotch doesn’t hurt either…

Bookish

the school library

Libraries are no longer stuffy and silent book storage facilities but are places of learning and discovery, story telling, group interaction and cozy spots for reading and focused study. In selecting furniture for a k-12 school library, we look to understand the various activities and provide fun, flexible and diverse areas for children to interact with the library materials, staff and each other.
