When you walk into a classroom, what do you notice first? The desks? The whiteboard? The storage? Now imagine walking into that same space, but at three feet tall. Or from a wheelchair. Or with a curious mind that learns best when moving, creating, or collaborating. Suddenly, the room looks very different.
That’s the heart of Through Their Eyes—a movement to design learning environments from the perspective of the students who use them every day.
At Artcobell, we believe schools should do more than house learning. They should inspire it. That’s why we created a campaign that challenges us—and invites you—to see classrooms the way children do: as places that need to feel safe, comfortable, and engaging.
Through the stories of our student personas, you’ll experience how different learners perceive their surroundings: the child who thrives when she can move, the one who needs a quiet corner to recharge, the student who feels empowered when everything is within reach. By looking at learning spaces through their eyes, we uncover opportunities to make environments more inclusive, more adaptable, and more inspiring.
This isn’t just about furniture. It’s about giving students agency, honoring their unique needs, and creating classrooms that grow with them. When we listen to the smallest voices, we often find the biggest ideas.
We invite you to join us in this movement. Explore the stories, meet the kids, and imagine what education can become when we design learning environments through their eyes.
