Inclusive by Design: Everything You Need to Know About the New Connections Collection

February 9, 2026

The Connections Collection reimagines the traditional classroom as a nurturing, inclusive environment. This modular furniture system is thoughtfully designed to support accessibility, sensory engagement, and meaningful connections for all children.

Natural finishes, textured surfaces, adjustable elements, offset toe kicks, and gentle curves create welcoming spaces for children of all abilities, including those using mobility devices. Multi-tiered surfaces encourage collaboration, independent exploration, sensory play, art, and social interaction, allowing children to engage at their own pace while reducing anxiety and overstimulation.

The Connections Collection works in harmony with Everyday Furnishings, making it easy to enhance your existing space without a complete redesign.

Coordinated shelving heights, proportions, and furniture materials create visual continuity, resulting in a cohesive, well-balanced environment that feels intentional and thoughtful.
