My Project

Providing a variety of different seating addresses various needs while making arranged seating easier to change out.

Dynamic seating can help sustain attention and focus by creating an outlet for fidgeting and wiggles.

Flexible seating is a great alternative option for traditional desk chairs. They promote dynamic movement, facilitate versatile seating arrangements, encourage active learning, and foster collaboration among students. Additionally, they enhance space utilization and adaptability, allowing for quick adjustments to accommodate various activities and group sizes.

Wobble stools create an active learning environment that keeps bodies and minds engaged. When used as a saddle seat, the active movement of rocking supports the body's natural need for movement.

Dynamic seating arrangements not only provide a better learning experience for students but choice of seating encourages collaboration with others and helps to produce cognitive and emotional growth.
