Library furniture with quality of stay.

For libraries, children's libraries, school libraries, and learning environments where reading, connection, and discovery come together.

The story of bliva

Why bliva

Books are often the reason people arrive. The environment determines whether they choose to stay.

bliva is a collection of library furniture designed by includi.

The collection is rooted in years of experience designing libraries, learning environments, and public spaces where people enjoy reading, meeting, discovering, and spending time.

Designed as a flexible system, bliva helps libraries create places where visitors feel welcome and want to return.

A place where people want to come and stay.

Collection

Seven families. One system.

bliva consists of seven furniture families that together form one coherent library system.

From collection display and reading to meeting, studying, and retreating - each family plays its own role within the space while remaining visually and functionally connected.

Storage & shelving

Havn

Calm, structural storage and shelving that gives a space its order.

Retreat

Nest

Sheltered places to withdraw — a cocoon within the room.

Discovery

Havna

Furniture for browsing, choosing and discovery.

Presentation

Plain

Platforms and presentation elements that bring collections forward.

Comfort

Nook

Informal seating and comfort that invites you to stay.

Focus

Fokus

Furniture made for concentration and study.

Zones

Field

Carpets that connect zones and give a space its own identity.

Designed by includi

From space to furniture.

For many years, includi has been designing libraries, learning environments, and public spaces across Europe.

That experience forms the foundation of bliva.

A welcoming library is not defined only by what is added to a space. The balance between collection, interaction, calm, and activity determines whether people feel at home.

bliva translates that spatial expertise into library furniture that encourages reading, discovery, connection, and staying.

Inspiration

Spaces people want to stay.

Every library is different.

Yet every project starts with the same question: how do you create a place where people want to come, stay, and grow?

The examples below show how bliva can contribute to public libraries, children's libraries, school libraries, and other reading and learning environments.
