Furnishing & Furniture
We ordered modern furniture for our learning landscape and are absolutely thrilled! The pupils and students love the new equipment, which perfectly complements the room. We would especially like to highlight the excellent advice – Mr. Miguel Falace was always flexible and supportive, even with last-minute changes. We are completely satisfied and can only recommend Kibemo.

Furnishings & Furniture
For the new construction of the Spitz after-school care center, we were able to count on the advice of Samuel Gamper from Kibemo. With his visualizations, he made our ideas tangible and proposed an open, transparent, and realistic solution that perfectly fit our budget. Our wishes and needs were always taken seriously. The entire process was not only professional but also inspiring and exciting. Kibemo is a reliable partner for us, whom we trust and will gladly involve for our after-school care centers in Kloten in the future.

Practical expert tips
What Modern Learning Spaces Really Need
The design of school rooms has long been part of a holistic pedagogical concept. In our discussions with schools, similar questions always arise: What makes a good learning space? What demands does the curriculum place? And how can these be practically implemented?
We provide well-founded and practical answers to these questions.
How are future-proof learning landscapes created that cater to diverse needs?
Future-oriented learning landscapes take into account both external framework conditions (social form, task) and individual needs of learners (e.g., retreat, movement, exchange).
Therefore, spaces are needed that support different learning styles – from quiet to collaborative. Only then can learning spaces be created that meet the demands of the curriculum.
What room zones does a complete learning environment need?
The concept of "Rethinking Learning Spaces" defines three essential zones:
- Focused collaborative: For concentrated group work
- Quiet: For silent individual work and reflection
- Haptic creative: For practical, action-oriented learning
This structure makes it possible to design differentiated learning spaces that accommodate all forms of learning.
Which furniture supports modern learning landscapes?
Traditional school furniture is often rigid and inflexible. However, forward-looking learning landscapes require furniture that can adapt to different uses:
- Group work: mobile tables, stackable chairs, whiteboards
- Individual work: acoustically shielded retreats, ergonomic furniture
- Creative work: robust work surfaces, open shelves, flexible storage space
Kibemo is the only provider in Switzerland to offer a customized range that is precisely tailored to these requirements. Developed based on the concept of "rethinking learning spaces".
What other elements influence the quality of learning spaces?
In addition to furniture, acoustics, lighting, colors, natural elements, and safety aspects also play a central role in designing learning-conducive spaces.
These factors not only improve well-being but also enhance learners' concentration and motivation.
Who supports schools in the concrete implementation of modern learning spaces?
Kibemo and play!ces are combining their expertise to support schools in transforming their learning environments.
While play!ces offers pedagogical consulting and spatial planning, Kibemo provides a unique range of furniture available throughout Switzerland. Precisely tailored to the concept of "Rethinking Learning Spaces".
Together, we guide schools from the idea to implementation.
What is modern school spatial planning and why is it more important than ever today?
Modern school room planning is no longer solely focused on class sizes and blackboard positions. It aims to actively utilize learning spaces as a pedagogical tool.
According to Curriculum 21, students are expected to develop interdisciplinary skills such as collaboration, independence, and reflection. These goals require flexible learning environments that specifically promote concentration and interaction.
