keen 'orbital workstation' , school furniture http://www.ke-en.com http://www.orbitalworkstation.com --- the orbital workstation is an individual unit on castors with a brake, where the seat can be orbited around the table. but its most amazing factor is that it allows the teacher to reconfigure the students in seconds without losing control. traditional settings facing the blackboard can be transformed in to working groups of 4 or 5, or there again can be reconfigured in to a circle for group discussions. all without fuss and interruption. its flexibility suits all international styles of teaching of children and adults alike, through facilitating formal exam seating as well as seminar and counselling-type teaching. not least the height adjustable seat is an essential comfort characteristic for tall and small classmates. different ages and sizes can all use the same classroom resource designed by shin and tomoko azumi. ----- ----- back to the main page --- ------- monthly designboom newsletter ------- ------- ? comments and contact us ? -------
