"Designed by Portland, Oregon-based Ziba
Design, the JumpSeat is the epitome of sleek
functionality, and this year brings the release of
a new wall-mounted version of this innovative
compact seating solution."

"I love the simplicity and versatility of white boards,
and Egan's new product line, EganAero, utilizes
the strength and thin profile of Corning Gorilla
Glass (think iPhones) to create shadow-free
writable surfaces."

"Power Cube is another product that enhances
informal, collaborative learning opportunities.
I'm a huge fan of white boards and it's fun to
see writeable surfaces appearing in table form,
especially power-rich mobile tables."

"Relatively inexpensive 3D printers like this are
changing the way we work. As they are introduced
into schools, they will inspire teachers and
students to transform classrooms and labs
into 'Maker Spaces.'"

"Innovations in LED technology are beginning to
achieve fixtures that offer high efficacy and great
color rendition that are cost effective, conserve
energy, and help create a high performance
learning environment."

"Our landscape architect, LAB, specified these
beautiful bike racks to sit in front of our new
Dunbar High School. They look like sculptures and
everyone stops to admire them as they approach
the building."

"Code provides a great way to create a sense of
privacy within busy student spaces, and humanizes
large volumes such as atriums. The collection
allows for an interesting combination of lounge
products, and multiple fabrics can be used on
a single piece."

"This wall-mounted hanging storage element turns
something mundane into an art form. Line comes in
fantastic colors and wood finishes, and saves space
with its pull-down hanging bar."

"Workstations typically used in offices are becoming
more common in educational spaces, particularly
for graduate students. MyFocus integrates
with phones and other devices, allowing the
user to manage their personal study and group
collaboration time."
