The refurbished library at Thomas’s London Day School is a dynamic and playful space designed to capture the imagination of pupils, teachers and parents. The light-filled room is filled with colour, bespoke soft furnishings and a range of reading zones to promote learning, and to nurture and stimulate the imagination of pupils. A map of Narnia, the fictitious land in C.S. Lewis’s children’s classic, is cast into the resin floor and covers the full width of the library. This enchanting motif introduces an element of fantasy to captivate young readers. Other design features include a blue alcove with curving steps, which makes an ideal setting for storytelling, and oversized circular seats upholstered in bright pink fabric. The desk for the librarian is constructed from 875 books set within a bespoke joinery frame. Low-level mobile units on rollers encourage pupils to rummage through the collection of books. Quotes above bookshelves provide inspiration and direct young readers to classic authors.
