Tangram: Where Learning Takes Shape
Whether it’s a quick catch-up with the crew or reviewing notes before an important test, unique learning environments need solutions that make working together a no-brainer. Tangram seating encourages students to discover unique ways to connect outside of the traditional classroom – and with a variety of configuration options, soft upholstered comfort, energetic color, and built-in power capabilities, building connections has never been more fun.
Conventional chairs and tables have their place in the classroom but gathering spaces – especially common areas and cafeterias – require relaxed, versatile solutions that allow students to recharge and recalibrate. It doesn’t matter if it’s lunch with friends or brainstorming with the bunch, Tangram’s high- or low-back choices offer a unique array of options for relaxed socialization or study.
