All Our Work is Underpinned by Four Value Pillars
1) Design natural environments which inspire learning
Learn why encorporating biophilic elements sits at the heart of our design ethos.
2) Create quality furniture that adapts with change
You tailor your teaching to the children, we tailor our furniture to adapt to those needs.
3) Use sustainable materials and methodologies
Environmental responsibility is something we all share. For us this means protecting our planets’.
4) Appreciate the gifts received in life and give back
Starship hospital changed our lives. And while our story had a difficult ending, we knew it could become a legacy for good.

“When refurbishing our library, we wanted a calm, flexible space that supported everything from quiet reading to group work. LSG listened, offered creative solutions, and delivered bespoke furniture that made our vision a reality.
The process was smooth and collaborative, and the result has exceeded expectations. Students especially love the book nooks and our transformed lighthouse. The library is now one of the most loved spaces in our school.”
Kate Ogg, Gulf Harbour School
“Our goal was to create a modern, engaging environment that celebrates books and invites students in, whether they’re with their class or stopping by during break time. LSG helped bring that vision to life with smart, tailored design solutions. The furniture blends beautifully into the space while promoting the books as the true heroes of the library.
Working with the team was a pleasure from start to finish. The process was smooth, collaborative, and filled with care. The response from our students and staff has been overwhelmingly positive. Our library is now one of the most used and loved spaces in the school, full every lunch time.”
Francis Naera, Principle at Birkenhead Primary School
“When we were looking for furniture we were looking for something that fitted in with the natural environment so that the Tamariki saw the link between inside and outside. The reason we loved LSG when looking around was really the natural furnishings they could provide and their attention to detail around our localised curriculums… I would definitely recommend LSG to other schools.”
Kate Morgan, Principal
Te Rōhutu Whio School
“Our goal was to make the most of the space we had and turn it into an aesthetically beautiful and inviting library. LSG made that vision a reality. Their natural timber Acoustic Learning Tree is now the centrepiece of the space, complemented by curved mobile shelving, custom display towers, soft seating, and a bespoke book issue desk, together creating a truly stylish and functional environment.
The LSG team was incredibly helpful from start to finish. They listened, provided 3D layouts, and kept us updated throughout the process. Installation was smooth and well-managed. And the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive; our students and staff absolutely love the new library. I often remind them how lucky we are to have this space at TNIS!”
Katriona Oliver, Library & Office Administrator
“There’s a lot of research we know now, particularly coming out of Reggio spaces around the environment being the third teacher, so how we create those environments for children is pretty important to how safe they feel in a classroom.
It was really good to have that 3D video fly through, we could walk through with it in the empty spaces before they were furnished and make some decisions about the final furniture choices.
Even when the Prime Minister and our local MP Judith Collins popped in for our opening, they all commented on how beautiful the furniture looks, how the natural vibe, the colour schemes, the natural looking wood really helps to create a space that feels warm and welcoming and family like.”
Lisa Cavanagh, Principal at Ngakoroa School
“From their initial proposal presentation through to installation and follow up Learning Spaces Global have been great to communicate with. Products have arrived on time and they had staff here when furniture was unpacked and set up.
The furniture is attractive and engaging, encouraging learners to interact with each other creatively. The products made to a very high standard that will stand the test of time in a busy learning environment.”
