Stylecraft + Education
Stylecraft + Education
Stylecraft’s diverse offering ensures we are able to provide multiple solutions for the classroom, lecture, library, breakout and outdoor areas.
Our national footprint has allowed for the specification of product into a number of leading institutions across Australia.
We believe the success of education design is reliant on furniture solutions that respond to technology-rich, flexible and social learning environments. Over the years we have worked with primary, secondary and tertiary institutions in a diverse range of campus applications.

Collaboration
Collaboration
Collaborative zones in educational settings are thoughtfully designed spaces that foster interaction, creativity, and teamwork among students. These areas often feature modular and flexible furniture and access to digital tools to support group work and problem-solving. The layout encourages movement and face-to-face engagement, promoting communication and shared learning experiences.

Focus
Focus
Focus zones in educational settings are designed to minimise distractions and support deep, independent work. These spaces typically feature individual seating, acoustic treatments, and subdued lighting to create a calm, quiet atmosphere. By offering a retreat from the buzz of collaborative areas, focus zones promote mindfulness, self-regulation, and productivity for staff and students alike.

Teaching
Teaching
These spaces often include tiered or flexible seating arrangements to ensure sightlines and integrated technology for effective content delivery. The layout balances authority and accessibility, allowing teachers to lead while remaining connected to students. Thoughtful acoustics, lighting, and ergonomic furniture further enhance the learning experience in these structured environments.

Breakout
Breakout
By offering a change of scenery and pace, breakout areas support collaboration, creativity, and mental rejuvenation. The furniture can be more playful than formal teaching areas, utilising texture, shape and colour to promote a pause from learning for students.

Outdoor
Outdoor
Outdoor areas in educational settings are designed as informal, flexible spaces where students can relax, socialise, or engage in small group discussions. Durable furniture that suits the elements, and is able to be re-configured based on the activities occurring in the institution at the time is a key focus.
