At Furnware, we are doing our homework.

Education is our passion!



Hamish Whyte, Furnware Managing Director

Every day we appreciate the changes students make to how they learn both within the classroom and the fast moving world outside.

The close relationship Furnware has with schools is providing us with information and realities on how to achieve the best learning environment to suit classrooms for the years ahead.

The knowledge of students is overwhelming with the internet providing them with real time learning experiences from a global classroom.

I have witnessed the power of using schools as a knowledge base for our learning, our testing, and questioning through student feedback what we need to deliver to improve their comfort and ability to achieve. The goal being to develop the best physical place to spend the 15000 -19000 hours we attend school in a lifetime!

We have utilised this expertise in realising one of Furnware’s objectives of becoming a significant exporter of school furniture and contributor to school environments internationally. Furnware is delivering Bodyfurn® classroom furniture to schools in Hong Kong, Australia, throughout the Middle East and to the UK.

This year Furnware and Waikato University measured the improvement in learning behaviour in middle schools and the incredible reduction to off task distractions our ergonomic school furniture Bodyfurn® delivered to schools.  All teachers involved communicated how we have changed their classrooms for the better.

We are committed to environmental sustainability with both our company and the products we produce. Cradle to cradle is our goal for all products and the Bodyfurn® products are close to gaining an Environmental Choice certification.

I welcome any feed back you have, and assure you that we have only just begun our journey to finding the best learning environment for both students and teachers.  I am very excited and committed to working with you to achieve this for your schools; I genuinely feel privileged to be in a position to change lives for the better, to make our classrooms more comfortable, high achieving areas of learning.
