Educational furniture

Frezza educational furniture brings together modular grandstand seating and poufs for commons, tables and bookcases for study areas, student lockers, stackable and folding chairs for auditoriums and multipurpose rooms and stools for labs, to be chosen together and customized in the finishes of the project, for schools, university campuses, student housing and training centers.

Grandstand seating, poufs and lounge furniture for commons

Lobbies, wide corridors and meeting points are where a campus comes together. The Gradone grandstand, designed by Frezza, arranges seating on two levels with base modules 90 or 135 cm deep, the deeper one with a footrest for people sitting on the upper level, and a compact 45 x 45 cm module on wheels that becomes a pouf or a small storage table. With planters, lamps and USB sockets as accessories, it hosts informal presentations, small meetings, study sessions and breaks, and is reconfigured when the space changes function.

For seating areas, the C1.8 pouf, by Giorgio Topan, comes in a version with an integrated beech plywood table and a fabric handle to move it, while Frezza poufs, upholstered benches and armchairs and sofas complete the waiting areas of admissions offices and faculty lounges. For break areas and cafeterias, Yo Plastic, by Progetto CMR, brings the color of polypropylene into an easy-to-clean chair.

Tables and bookcases for study areas and libraries

Study areas have to work both for individual study and for groups. Pop Folding has a 25 mm melamine top that flips to a vertical position, lengths from 120 to 180 cm, depths of 60 or 80 cm and wheels: the tables link together with hooks for group work and are stored side by side when the area needs to be cleared. The Be.1 Nomad Table, by Progetto CMR, is a high table with a footrest crossbar and wheels with brakes, designed for universities, libraries and coworking spaces, for stand-up study and quick reviews.

The Phylo bookcase has a painted steel frame with a square section, shelves in metal, melamine or glass and heights from 46 to 198 cm, and with the writable chalkboard panel it also becomes a support for group work. To separate study stations without construction work, the Agile board on wheels with a monitor holder and the Be.1 Mediawalk mobile partition go wherever they are needed, together with partition walls for permanent divisions.

Student lockers and storage

Every student needs a secure place for a backpack, a laptop and books. Lockers are 45 cm wide, with 3 compartments at 147 cm high or 4 compartments at 195 cm high, close with a key, a combination or a badge and have numbered doors, to assign them to each student or use them on a rotating basis. In corridors and faculty rooms, Frezza office cabinets store records, teaching materials and equipment.

Seating for auditoriums, multipurpose rooms and labs

Auditoriums and multipurpose rooms go from a conference to an exam to a graduation event. Magic, designed by Frezza, has folding sides, a tip-up seat and swivel casters at the front, so many chairs can be stacked quickly in little space. Noma has a frame in 22 mm steel rod and stacks up to 12 chairs without armrests, while Yo Wood, with a shell in beech plywood or oak, has a removable writing tablet in the sled-base version. Yo Fabric and Yo Upholstered add upholstery for representative rooms.

In labs, people work at high benches and switch between sitting and standing. Ergotech Wood has a beech plywood seat, gas height adjustment and an aluminum footrest and is certified to EN 16139 and EN 1728, while Ergotech PU, in easy-to-clean integral polyurethane, is certified to EN 1335 and suited to labs with hygiene requirements.

Educational furniture then coordinates with training room furniture, library furniture and auditorium furniture: by choosing chairs and tables from the same collections, such as Yo, the classrooms, commons and study areas of a campus stay consistent, with upholstery and finishes customized to the project.

For architects and interior designers, technical sheets and DWG files of the collections are available, to drop straight into the project of educational furniture.
