We are currently building a test classroom at our headquarters in Kinnarp, Sweden. You and your students are invited to spend a day holding lessons and finding out which classroom furnishing suits you best. On an area of 60 sq m we have constructed a real classroom, where the interior design can be customised to suit different learning situations. Contact your local Kinnarps sales office for more information.
