Higher education itself is flexible. Students, their study habits, and preferences are all considered long before they are welcomed on campus. It makes sense that comfortable and flexible areas on campus provide study zones of different types, featuring furniture that can serve multiple purposes creating welcoming spaces. Furniture in these areas should also be flexible.
Multipurposed lounge seating and tables
The environment that students and staff occupy during their learning experience can make the difference in productive study and less than productive study. If the choice is between straight backed and hard to sit in desk chairs or plush relaxed lounge chairs combined with a stylish ottoman or occasional table, the choice is clear. Kwalu’s lounge chair for education options stand up to excessive use and will always look good. The Montedoro Lounge and Bariatric are comfortable enough for relaxing yet durable enough for long study, and social events.
The multipurposed ottoman
The ottoman takes seating to a new level, a level of sophistication and versatility. Kwalu has several from which to choose. The Carisio is the ottoman that can keep the education space interesting and inviting because it can stand alone or be grouped to create multiple modular seating designs. Use it in a student center, library, or the dorm study area.
Multipurposed dining chairs and stools
The “cool” factor should always be considered in college and university dining design. Furniture here should be cool enough for the students to want to linger and grab a coffee and hang out or supportive enough for them to enjoy a full meal with friends or visiting family. That’s multipurposed dining. Kwalu’s Sciara café chairs, bar and counter stools are designed for use in student center dining and for smaller café and sports bar settings.
