Our Story | New Zealand Educational & Commercial Furniture Manufacturer
Educated Furniture began in 1994 (originally as Mike’s Woodshop), operating from a skyline garage in Poroti, just outside Whangārei. What started with children’s toys and painting easels quickly became something bigger when a local principal asked us to custom-build furniture to suit his exact requirements.
We said yes — and that problem-solving mindset still defines us today.
From those early projects, we’ve grown into a nationwide New Zealand educational furniture manufacturer and supplier, providing made-to-measure solutions for schools, early childhood centres, tertiary institutions and workplaces across the country. Our range includes classroom tables, school desks, student chairs and stools, whiteboard cabinets, teacher podiums, book display units, storage systems, office workstations, task chairs, and much more.
Designed for Learning. Built to Last.
We design and manufacture durable, high-quality school furniture in New Zealand that is built to handle everyday use in busy learning environments. Many of our products are fully customisable, making it easy to suit different age groups and teaching styles — from early learning through to primary, secondary, and tertiary spaces.
We also supply far more than classroom furniture. Our education fit-out solutions include:
- Library furniture and book display units
- Administration and reception furniture
- Staffroom furniture and seating
- Custom cabinetry for kitchens and technology blocks
- Flexible storage systems designed for any space
Whether you’re upgrading a single room or completing a full school furniture fit-out, we create practical, long-lasting solutions tailored to the way your team and students work.
