Product Briefs: Education
BuzziShade Pendant
Finding a quiet spot to talk within open zones is made easier with the BuzziShade from Belgium-based BuzziSpace. The large drum-pendant piece is covered in felt to isolate conversations between persons or for mobile phone calls, but also acts as a light fixture. Playful X-stitch detailing runs down the edge of the exterior fabric, which is offered in anthracite, lime, red, orange, and off-white, among other vibrant colors. The 43⅓ " -diameter shade is constructed of a recycled-aluminum frame and upcycled-PET felt.
Wink Dry-Erase Paint
In recent years, a spate of paints has been developed to transform any surface into a chalkboard or dry-erase wall. Wolf-Gordon's writable whiteboard rendition, called Wink, dries clear, avoiding interference with a space's original design and color palette. The water-based low-VOC paint is commercial grade and backed by a 10-year guarantee against cracking or peeling.
Norament Satura Rubber Flooring
Ideal for education and health-care environments, Nora Systems' rubber flooring products are high-performance, easy to maintain, slip-resistant, and noise-reducing coverings. This latest line, Norament Satura, was developed in conjunction with a group of architects seeking new color palettes, resulting in a hammered-texture, flecked product that comes in both neutral and saturated hues. The tiles measure 40" square, though stair-tread formats are also available.
O60 Serie
Created by Orlandini Design for Sedia Systems, this lecture hall and classroom system consists of a sturdy pedestal that supports one or two swing-out swivel seats and a desktop with integrated wire management. The base features a torsion-spring mechanism for consistent seat return and can be specified with a choice of 10 different chair styles, including mesh-back options from Humanscale.
Vandal-Resistant EZH2O Bottle Filling Station
To withstand destructive and common wear-and-tear activities, indoors or out, Elkay's EZH2O bottle-filling station has been enhanced with durable and tamper-free features such as an easy-to-use push-button, an inside-mount fountain spout, and a stainless-steel exterior. A monitor displays when the filter needs to be replaced, as well as an estimated count of 20-ounce plastic bottles that have been diverted from landfills through use of the sensor-operated filler station.
Lily Table
An ergonomic table, Lily possesses a top large enough to accommodate a laptop and writing pad, but overall is compact and lightweight enough to move easily from individual to group work settings. Its top has a round cutout for holding beverages and a subtle groove that keeps pens from rolling off. Lily is available in white, pewter, or black, and measures 24" wide by 15¾" deep by 24½" high.
