occupying a former high school, schemata architects have designed a collection of bespoke workshop furniture for studio renova ring. originally, the designers wanted to source original school furniture which would be appropriate for its workshop nature, but due to its unavailability, this resulted in the creation of their own furniture. composed of a matching table and a stool, the silhouette of the pieces reference the classroom. using wood and white steel pipes, the materials have been purposely assembled juxtaposed of each other; forming a hybrid structural system of wood and steel.

the design workshop is based in a former high school

the designers created furniture that references classic classroom furniture

timber and steel were used in the fabrication of the furniture
