Ngarang (Junior) Chair

Ngarang Chair — A Comfortable, Colourful School Chair for Primary Classrooms

The Ngarang Chair is a playful, practical seating solution designed specifically for primary school learning environments. Adapted from Koskela’s beloved Jake Chair, this junior version maintains the same iconic aesthetic in a scaled-down form — perfect for supporting children through early learning and development stages.

“Ngarang” means “junior” in the Dharug Aboriginal language, reflecting Koskela’s commitment to using First Nations language in naming the Learn by Koskela collection.

Originally released in 2013 as a reimagining of the classic school cafeteria chair, the Jake Chair’s robust form and nostalgic charm make it a favourite across education spaces. The Ngarang brings that same spirit to the classroom in a child-friendly format — available in four vibrant powder coat colours, inspired by the Australian landscape.

The chair’s durable steel tube frame ensures long-lasting performance in high-traffic learning environments. The seat and back are made from whitewashed plywood, offering a natural, timber aesthetic. For additional comfort and support, the seat is padded and upholstered in a commercial-grade, stain-resistant fabric, helping students remain focused during lessons or group activities.

Also available in Plywood only.

Lightweight and stackable up to six high, Ngarang is easy to store and rearrange — a must-have for flexible, agile classrooms.
