New Education Products, Winter 2020
Productivity Living Partition
An addition to the Verdanta plant-wall partitions, developed by manufacturer Sagegreenlife with Gensler, the 6' x 4' Productivity Living Partition features a dry-erase board on one side and 120 tropical plants on the other. The mobile wall can be plugged into any 120-volt AC outlet to power its LED and recirculating irrigation system.
Sky
Versteel’s mobile, adjustable-height Sky table features a 1¼"-thick worktop that also tilts to function as a whiteboard, privacy screen, or lectern. Options include rectangular, square, and round tops; casters or glides for feet; powder-coated or steel legs; and five base styles, including nontilting fixed. The table easily transitions from 29" to 42" high, and is ADA-compliant.
Rai Seating System
Made of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) beams mounted to anodized aluminum supports, Rai is a maintenance-free system of outdoor benches that comes in various heights to suit many uses and settings. Santa & Cole Urbidermis collaborated with manufacturer Landscape Forms on a design that can comfortably accommodate users while they lean and recline as well as sit. Four preset configurations of the benches are available. Slats measure roughly 8' long and 2' wide.
iD Latitude
Tarkett’s latest vinyl flooring is available as 18"-square tiles and 6" x 36" planks in colors and textures that mimic natural wood and stone. Produced through the company’s ReStart reclamation program, the collection is 100% recyclable, with a low total VOC concentration.
AERUS
Designed to increase comfort and productivity in low-ceilinged environments, this new pendant from Amerlux delivers even, glare-free illumination due to its indirect/ direct (75%, 25%) light distribution. Ideal for schools and offices, the luminaire, named AERUS, can be mounted much closer to ceilings than standard fixtures (suspended by just 1') without creating a hot spot.
