[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Shinsegae's living & lifestyle brand Casamia announced on the 31st that it will support furniture for children and adolescents in vulnerable learning environments.

As the number of school closures and online classes increased due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the gap in learning environments according to household circumstances gradually widened. To provide emotional stability and a comfortable learning environment for children from vulnerable groups, Casamia decided to support student furniture worth about 50 million KRW to the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation.

Since November last year, Casamia has selected the support items and recipients through prior discussions with the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation for about a month. By the end of the year, furniture such as chairs, desks, bookshelves, and drawers for study use, as well as sofas, tables, and armchairs for rest areas, will be delivered to a total of 13 locations including child care facilities, self-reliance support facilities, and single-parent protection facilities located in the metropolitan area.

The study furniture to be used by the children is from Casamia’s 'Milli' series, known as the national study furniture. It features modular functions that allow efficient use by combining each item according to space and purpose. It uses eco-friendly materials with an E0 grade and has secured safety through KC certification. Additionally, it applies the eco-friendly LPM processing method from Germany’s Schattdecor, making it resistant to everyday scratches.

A Casamia official said, "We undertook this project with the hope of helping to alleviate the learning environment gap caused by the spread of COVID-19, even if only a little," and added, "Casamia will continue to actively support children and adolescents from socially vulnerable groups so that they can nurture their dreams in better environments."

Meanwhile, since last year, Casamia has been continuously conducting the 'Hope Dream Student Furniture Support Campaign' as part of its social contribution activities, providing study furniture to children and adolescents from vulnerable groups in Korea. So far, it has delivered furniture worth about 60 million KRW to approximately 100 households, and in March, when the COVID-19 spread intensified, it supported study furniture for low-income students in the Busanjin-gu area, contributing to the creation of a quality learning environment.

This donation to the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation is also a project conducted as part of the Hope Dream Student Furniture Support Campaign. Including this, Casamia will donate furniture worth a total of 100 million KRW by the end of this year.
