The children's library in Falköping, Sweden has been transformed into an inspiring space
”We wanted to create an imaginative space that arouses the desire to read, but also where there is room for parents to read with their children in peace and quiet."
Comments from library users:

"Good with tables and chairs so you can do homework"
"Cozy with seating areas just for relaxation"
"Beautiful colours"
"Nice to just sit and "chill" in the seating"

Head of department, Falköping Library
The library's youth department is also facing a transformation, which our interior designers are in the process of completing.
"Something magical happens when functionality
and play merges together.
By combining coloured walls and customized furniture
with pull-out browsers and space-creating shelving,
the children's library becomes an adventurous place with room
for relaxing, reading out loud and using your imagination."
