Eli
This height-adjustable modular desk brings the standing desk into classrooms and other learning environments where activities and programming can vary and require flexibility. The button-activated sit-to-stand desk comes in five standard base colors, with eight shapes for the work surface, ranging from rectangular to trapezoidal to six-sided. Surfaces are laminate, whiteboard, or veneer, with the option of mounted dry-erase screens.
Prospect Solo Space
This aluminum enclosure is offered in three configurations (two, three, and four panels) measuring 54" tall and 5' 6" in diameter, and is lined in sound-absorbing acoustic pads that can be used as tack boards. For schools and libraries, this unit offers an easily assembled semiprivate breakout space.
Oodle
Smith System promotes “active” sitting with this stool that features three stacking and locking components to make the seat stationary or a balance ball of sorts, with 10 degrees of multidirectional wiggle. Molded from high-density polypropylene, the 17"-diameter units are offered in five colors, making them ideal for K–12 learning and recreational environments.
Recharge
Multiple benches (each 58" long, with space for two) can be positioned end-to-end or linked via seat-height connector tables in this seating by designer Chris Adamick. The furniture line features integrated three-prong USB ports that make them well suited to educational environments, from school libraries and transitional areas to universities.
Skateboard Tile
Recycled skateboards are used to make these 7-ply maplewood tiles. They can be solid-mesh-mounted by the square foot and installed with standard mastic and sanded grout. This colorful tile wallcovering is ideal for learning centers or a library installation (shown)—a visual lesson in sustainability.
