This case is a special customized project together with Studio Heering for a primary school in The Hague. The assignment: create a library especially for children up to group 3 where they get inspired to read. Think of creative (customized) solutions appealing to children and invite them to spend more time in this library with pleasure.

Design and custom-made furnishing
Several custom-made solutions have been worked out keeping children into playful contact with books and the world of reading. For example, a ‘reading tree’ has been designed where children can sit comfortably while reading a book. There are also ‘crawling corners’ in cupboards, so that children can literally crawl into the bookcase to read a book. A large reading platform has been designed so that children can sit around and listen to the reader. Of course a reading table and an information table with screens have also been thought of.
Design sketches for children’s library
The result of this project has become a colorful room in which the custom-made ‘reading tree’ catches the eye. A reading platform with colorful cushions and a beautiful acoustic reading chair are situated in the corner of the library in a way other visitors are not bothered by the reading session. A reading table and also a table where information can be looked up on the internet have also been thought of. Finishing touch of this project are the acoustic walls with inspiring colorful texts.
