📜With this being the first full week of schools being back there are several new settings that students will be enjoying that we have installed. So, what needs to be considered when planning or designing seating for an education space? Here are FIVE key things to consider, so they can concentrate on their studies: 1.      Provide proper support with lumbar support that mirrors the curve of the spine. 2.      Enable some movement with a flexible back. 3.      Ensure blood flow to the legs with a waterfall front to the seat. 4.      Choose a cantilever frame for safety and stability. 5.      Integrate flexible seating arrangements. And lastly, but increasingly important find a balance with school budgets that are under constant and increasing strain. https://bit.ly/3AWhokt #rhubarbseating #madeinbritain #classrooms #educationenvironment #educationdesign #seatingdesign #seatingmanufacture #upholstery #studentwellbeing

Dynamic light as a learning aid: The Dynamic Lighting study by Prof. Ellen Kathrine Hansen (Aalborg University Copenhagen) shows how flexible lighting control can improve teaching. At Herstedlund Primary School in Denmark, teachers used four lighting scenes to control pupil activity, concentration and behaviour. During the winter months in particular, warm light in the morning helped pupils to concentrate on reading. The result: light should not only support learning styles, but also complement daylight conditions. With all-day classes, it is important that lighting harmonises with the natural course of the day. The Active Light concept combines daylight and artificial light to enhance wellbeing and performance. 👉 https://lnkd.in/d9in2Gc7  Switch on your mind.
