- Sense of Place

Ideally scaled for self-directed learning, this new furniture line is built rugged for the classroom.
Solid birch feet, aprons, tops and other elements compliment white-laminated plywood for a natural, light and contemporary feel. But these pieces don’t compromise practicality for looks.
Sense of Place combines the multi-functional design teachers need while realistic detailing engages young imaginations for meaningful connections.
