About
Fern Studio is the design-and-build arm of Fern Kids, Canada's leading children's furniture manufacturer. We take on projects where off-the-shelf isn't enough — custom indoor play structures, immersive learning environments, architectural millwork, and fully integrated children's spaces that are designed, fabricated, and installed by our team in Moorefield, Ontario.
We work with architects, interior designers, childcare operators, developers, and school boards to deliver spaces that are purposeful, durable, and beautifully made.

Expertise
Custom Indoor Play Structures
We design and build custom wood indoor play structures for schools, daycares, family entertainment venues, condo amenity rooms, and mixed-use developments. Unlike prefab equipment, our structures are architecturally designed, site-specific, and fabricated from solid hardwood and Baltic birch — built to complement your interior, not fight it. Whether it's a climbing structure, loft play system, or a full immersive playscape, we design it from scratch around your space and budget.
Early Learning Classroom Design
We design and build complete early learning environments for daycares, preschools, Montessori programs, and school boards. From custom millwork and built-in storage to reading nooks, loft structures, and sensory features, we create classrooms that support child development and make educators' lives easier. We work directly with childcare operators and school boards, or alongside your architect or interior designer.
Commercial Playspace Design & Build
We design commercial playspaces for family entertainment venues, children's museums, play cafés, retail environments, and hospitality projects. Our playspaces combine architectural custom fabrication with durable commercial finishes — designed for high traffic and built to last.
Museum & Library Interiors
We design children's areas for museums, public libraries, and cultural institutions — immersive, interactive environments that blend custom millwork, display systems, and thoughtful spatial design. From concept through fabrication and installation, we create spaces that engage young visitors and serve your curatorial goals.
Amenity Spaces for Condos and Multi-use
We partner with architects and residential developers to design and build children's amenity spaces — arts and crafts rooms, games rooms, indoor play areas, and family lounges — for condo, mixed-use, and purpose-built rental developments. We understand architectural documentation requirements and can work within your project schedule and spec process.
Faith Community Spaces
We help faith communities reimagine nursery rooms, children's ministries, and multi-use gathering spaces with custom millwork, built-in storage, and purposeful interior design that serves both children and adults.
