The project Flexus – “curve” in Latin – symbolizes the transition from a rigid space to a fluid and organic environment. This project proposes the reorganization of a kindergarten classroom (1–2H) in Sierre, accommodating twelve students aged 4 to 6. In response to the observation of a cluttered space and children’s tendency to appropriate the floor during their activities, the goal is to free up as much surface area as possible.
The heart of the proposal lies in the integration of a multifunctional furniture unit. This device centralizes high-level storage for the teacher, provides a library accessible to children, as well as private spaces for rest or reading. At the same time, existing storage is rationalized to reduce visual clutter, and the teacher’s desk area is optimized.
With the addition of new modular tables as well as a group seating cushion, the project transforms the classroom into an evolving educational environment, fully focused on motor needs, comfort, and children’s autonomy.
