FOCUS ON EDUCATIONAL FURNITURE
CAMPUS COMEBACKS COVID-19 put flexibility in the limelight. The latest round of educational furniture bodes well with various configurations found in modern learning spaces. An emphasis on comfort, ease and creative flair will bring a sense of wellbeing to returning students and faculty.
Kirei has expanded its AKUART collection with Stand By Me. The free-standing, sound-reducing floor screen sections off noisy spaces as a stationary or movable addition to learning environments. The canvas is available with branded graphics, highresolution photos, or digital design files, which brings art, colour and creative control to a number of configurations. It is available in six standard lengths and four different heights.
In celebration of its 50th anniversary, EMU reimagined the original 1970s design of Rio—its most iconic chair. The new Rio R50 series is now available exclusively from Coalesse in the Americas and pairs well in outdoor school settings where students can connect and rejuvenate. The series includes a rocking chair with a deeply drawn seat for comfort. The steel frame is slim and light, yet both weight- and weather-resistant. Other styles include a chair, armchair, lounge chair, rocker, stool and coffee table all available in 11 colour options of outdoor grade powder coat paint finishes.
Jetty:Mod is a new modular sofa from Allsteel. The adaptable design can influence circulation patterns and distance individuals in ever-changing spaces, from atriums to cafes and ancillary spaces in between. The system’s curvilinear and linear forms are available in a variety of upholstery, laminate, and metal finishes for residentially inspired layering or coordinating across environments. It comes in different heights and depths for various work modes and activity-specific needs.
Lightline Low Profile Architectural Wall is a new glass wall system from KI that maximizes daylight and defines spaces, from a small focus room to a large conference area. Its minimalistic design features a one-inch base trim around frameless glass panels and sliding or pivot-hinged doors. Semi-unitized modular panels are pre-assembled to exact space requirements and eliminate the need for extra support structures or drywall soffits. It is available in numerous design and finish options.
