Re:Form is a master thesis about a pupil table that enhances the activities in the classroom and creates an active learning environment for the teacher and the pupils. This is obtained through collaboration with four different schools and a school furniture design company. Through this collaboration it is discovered that the market is selling a dream to the schools that has little to do with the reality in the classrooms. With this knowledge the concept is developed to improve the flexibility in the classroom and give the option of clearing the floor of tables and give room to educational activities. Further geometrical studies make sure that pupils can be grouped efficiently together in groups of up to 6 or more. Additionally, the table is stackable and through multiple iteration it is made sure that the table behaves like a normal table any other time. Re:Form is a proposal that gives the teacher the power to create a learning environment that suits their needs for the education material, and give the pupils an interesting school day that does not become mundane and repetitive.
