A child's development takes place within contexts that convey meaning. That is why every environment should be thoughtfully designed, not simply filled.
From Dialogue to the Educational Environment
Design Thinking + Pedagogical Research + Artistic Craftsmanship
01 LISTENING
Let's understand the context
Let's start with your space and your needs: floor plans, constraints, educational approach, and budget.
02 PROJECT
Let's Design the Space
We develop the project by integrating functionality, pedagogical considerations, and production.
03 PRODUCTION
In our lab
From prototyping to finishing, using CNC machining and hand finishing. We oversee the entire production cycle.
04 DELIVERY
The project comes to life
We install and test. We make sure that every component works in the real world.
Customization
Every product is born out of a specific need.
Our standard products originated from successful custom projects. These were specific projects that worked so well that they made it into our catalog.
This means two things: the catalog is full of products that have already been field-tested. And if you have a need that the catalog doesn't cover, we know how to address it because we've been doing this for a long time.
Co-design
We work with designers.
We combine many years of experience in designing spaces for children, knowledge of industry regulations, and the production capacity needed to take a design from concept to completion.
We work alongside architects and designers, bringing our expertise in creating educational spaces to the table.
Most suppliers simply adapt standard products. We immerse ourselves in the project and work together to develop furnishings that are designed specifically for the space.
“We worked with Merlino to co-design the nursery’s interiors based on our architectural plans. They brought a level of pedagogical expertise that we lacked.”

Approach
Space educates. Always.
A child's development takes place within environments that constantly convey meaning. A hallway, a corner, a piece of furniture: everything speaks, everything teaches.
That’s why we don’t just fill a space. We design environments that become an active part of education: moving from mere containers to actual content.
Our work combines design thinking, collaboration with educators and pedagogues, and craftsmanship. We analyze the space, understand how children will experience it, and bring it to life.
Quality
Quality as Part of the Process
All of our products comply with European regulations for children's furniture. We use FSC-certified birch plywood, non-toxic paints, and materials that meet EN standards.
Sustainability
Designing for Durability.
For us, sustainability means designing products that last. In a market focused on convenience and quick replacement, we’re taking the opposite approach: extending the life cycle of every piece of furniture. Anyone who buys one of our products is making a long-term investment.
We oversee the entire production cycle. Every decision—from thoughtful design to the selection of materials and finishes—is made with the goal of ensuring quality, functionality, and durability, while meeting the day-to-day needs of an educational facility.
