Students learn differently. There are times when individual study is best and times when collaborative study works better. Kwalu has furniture for these spaces. Sociable furniture that stands up to the rigorous lifestyle of college students. Green space on college campuses is lush and beautiful. The right furniture here will make it more conducive to learning.
Best furniture for education settings is flexible
Education design must be flexible and ready to adjust quickly to whatever change occurs. Spaces that housed large groups of diners at tables packed in and placed side by side should be flexible enough to create zones for small groups. Tables and chairs of questionable finishes are a thing of the past. Kwalu furniture, like the Sciara Café and the Brianza Occasional tables, with bleach cleanable, non-porous finishes and durable coated fabrics is the flexible furniture needed for education spaces.
Making the best use of outdoor furniture on campus
Educational research shows learning and studying outdoors increases students’ wellbeing, be it physical, mental, or social as early as preschool. Colleges and universities, especially in urban settings, are adding nature paths, park-like spaces and water features in their total campus design. With an eye toward improving test scores and increased mental health recovery, campuses are turning to relaxation spaces. Kwalu’s furniture for outdoors is designed from sustainable materials, easily cleaned and very comfortable.
Redefining the common area indoors
The student lounge is now a flexible space on campus for living and learning. Kwalu’s seating and tables for this area is made of high-impact resilient polymer with patented joint construction resulting in beautiful wood-like finishes. Some tables and chairs also have optional power features so students can stay connected. The versatile Terrasini Occasional is comfortable in many locations and with the optional open back it creates a cool vibe in the space.
