Did you know there’s an Australian Standard behind how wide the space between library shelves should be?

It’s called AS 1428.1, and it’s all about making sure everyone can move around a building, including people in wheelchairs.

How is it measured? A wheelchair needs a path at least 1,000 mm wide to get through, but turning around takes more than 1.5 metres.

So, imagine a school library. The shelves are in, and the aisle looks fine on the plan. Then a student in a wheelchair goes down it, reaches the end, and has nowhere to turn. That’s not right!

And width is only half of it. Reach is the other half. If the book sits on the top shelf, someone who’s seated still can’t get to it. The State Library of NSW puts it simply: shelving should be “at the appropriate height and reach for all users.”

The good news is that this is easy to get right at the planning stage, as long as shelves, tables and chairs are planned together. That’s why it’s so important for suppliers, architects and school teams to work together, so the library works for every student.

The State Library of NSW has lots of free resources if you want to know more: https://pls.sl.nsw.gov.au/managing-my-library/buildings-and-spaces/library-layout-templates-and-modules

We’re officially in the final push of the year.

For us, this is the time when many and business managers are looking around their classrooms, libraries and halls, and deciding what needs to change before the new school year.
If you’re a new principal, getting your spaces and furniture ready for 2027 might feel a little stressful. But it’s a matter of planning your next steps.

How do you design one space for a senior student who needs to focus, a group working on laptops and a young reader who just wants a cosy spot?

That was the challenge at Peter Carnley Anglican Community School when they opened ‘The Hub’. The answer was to treat each zone differently: a reading lounge that makes the most of a 12m span of windows, a U-shaped bench that seats up to 32 students for collaborative work, and a junior area with seating at three different heights.

A today isn’t just a room full of books. It needs to work for everyone who walks in.

One of the hardest conversations we have with schools has nothing to do with price or quality. It’s about .

Every time there's a new renovation, the principal and business manager ask the same question: Do we match what we already have, or do we start again?

For a principal, a consistent campus is part of the school’s identity. For a business manager, it’s about protecting an investment made with care. We understand that completely, and honestly, it’s one of the biggest barriers we face as a supplier.

Here’s how we approach it:
1. Our designers work alongside architects and schools to understand the existing spaces before recommending anything.
2. We offer bespoke and custom furniture, so new pieces can sit comfortably next to what’s already there.
3. For new schools, we try to recommend ranges built to grow with the school. The EN Series is a good example: the same design family includes classroom chairs, stools, swivel and drafting chairs. A library chosen in Stage 1 can carry through to the science labs in Stage 3.

Has this happened to you? What’s been the hardest part of keeping each stage consistent with the last?

These little have been the star of every event we’ve attended lately. People keep stopping to pick one up, grab another for a colleague, or simply ask what they’re for... But the best part is that everything that makes these little chairs special carries straight through to the full-size version.

The EN One is setting a new standard for student seating. It comes with a 21-year warranty, which, as many of you have told us, is something you simply don’t see anymore. And you’re right.

Office Line is the proud exclusive distributor of Spaceforme in Australia. So, if you’d like to see and test the real chairs, we’d love to bring one to you.

First time at WAPPA, and it already feels like where we belong. 💙

And what a welcome it’s been. Our mini chairs have been the talk of the stand, and honestly, the organisation of this event has been so impressive. This team go beyond the basics and add a personal touch to everything.

To everyone who’s stopped by for a chat: thank you. And if you haven’t yet, we’re here until Friday.

Here’s to the first of many. 👋

Every student is different. The , usually, isn't.

That's where adjustable classroom furniture earns its place: height-adjustable desks and chairs help students sit properly and reduce discomfort during long school days, whatever their age, height or needs.

One set that adapts to a mixed-age group. That grows with a child as they move up the grades. That includes students using wheelchairs or those who focus better alternating between sitting and standing.

Comfort isn't a luxury. For a student, it's the difference between a day spent focused and a day spent fidgeting.

We've been talking a lot lately about how physical spaces shape the way people and learn. And after the recent ASBA Conference, where offices and admin areas were front of mind in so many of our conversations, the timing felt too good to pass up.

So, this feels like the right moment to showcase our own office!

Over eight weeks, we reworked our own workspace into something that does double duty. On one hand, a modern, hashtag environment for our team. On the other, a living showroom where clients can sit in the chairs, work at the desks, and experience our furniture the way it's meant to be used, in a real .

We put together the full story on our blog.

September is one of those months where we're out of the office A LOT. And we're not complaining, because there's nothing we enjoy more than meeting you in person.

This week you'll find us at the ASBA WA State Conference, the space where school business managers across WA come together to talk about what really matters: making their budgets stretch further and their spaces work harder.

If you're around, come and say hello to Chris and Karen. They'd love to hear about the project you're working on, and maybe take one thing off your plate.

See you there. 💙
