All under the watching eye of Tim Brown. Steelcase on the other hand, is known for its well designed office furniture. Always very colorful, efficient and handy. Their cooperation with Steelcase thus didn’t came as a surprise.

The chair is aimed at students. It can rotate 360º, making it adaptable to any class set up, wether it is a circle, lines or small groups. The small desk attached to the chair, works well for both left and right handed people. It is large enough to hold books and notes, or your laptop. The whole bottom area can be used to store your bag, which is probably the most convenient solution of them all.
