We create plywood furniture inspired by nature for schools. 100% Kiwi owned. Made in Nelson, NZ since 2006. Far from it!
'Furniture that respects learning'
As we have progressed into the 21st century, it has become clear that learning spaces must evolve. No longer can we persist with educational environments that were designed to fulfil the needs of education in a rising industrial age over 100 years ago. We must adapt our learning spaces to help our youth develop and succeed in a dynamic world of rapidly advancing technology. Does this mean our mission is to put every child in a box with a computer? Grocare sees the need for providing youth with adequate space and resources to discover and search out what is most important to them as unique individuals. We believe that open learning space provides youth with the right environment to take on a self-directed approach to learning. They should be able to draw from their surrounding environment to make choices about what they want to learn and the pace in which they learn it. Loris Malaguzzi stated the importance of the learning environment way back in the 1940’s, defining it as the “Third Teacher.”
“There are three teachers of children: adults, other children and their physical environment.”

Therefore our purpose at Grocare is “To create innovative and safe environments that assist in the development of youth.”
5 good reasons why we love these flipping tables…
1. They give you space. Could stop here tbh.
Need a full table? Need the floor back? They respect your floor square footage.
2. Easy storage & transport.
Once flipped, cluster them up. And they move so smooth on those wheels
3. One table, multiple personalities.
Student desk, teacher desk, cafeteria tables… this is the Swiss Army knife of our tables
4. Looks sharp even when it’s not in use.
Most folding tables look like they’ve escaped the school gym, ours look intentional. Not temporary.
5. Honestly too easy to flip.
The mechanics on these tables is so easy to use
Strong, customisable and a style that is timeless. Every cubby locker we build is custom fit to the work for the intended space.
Featuring doors in Sage and Hunter HPL alternating with Birch HPL for this eye catching checkered effect 💚🩵🌿
