FUTURE-READY CLASSROOMS START WITH SMARTER DESIGN For more than 80 years, KI has been a leader in manufacturing and designing innovative furniture solutions, with a primary focus on the education sector. We’ve partnered closely with schools, districts, and institutions to evolve classrooms from static spaces into flexible, future-ready environments that reflect how today’s students actually learn. EDUCATION IS EVOLVING—SO SHOULD LEARNING SPACES Education is shifting—and fast. From collaborative problem-solving to hands-on exploration, learning today is more dynamic than ever. That’s why KI focuses on designing spaces that can keep up. Classrooms should support a wide range of activities, from group discussions and maker projects to quiet reflection and individual study.The right space makes all the difference. At KI, we approach every education project with a “customer of one” mindset. That means listening first, understanding the unique culture and vision of each learning community, and co-creating spaces that fit—not force—how educators teach and how students learn. THE LINK BETWEEN ENVIRONMENT AND ENGAGEMENT There’s strong data behind this approach. Studies show that students who regularly engage in creative, hands-on tasks develop stronger cognitive skills, retain information more effectively, and gain a deeper understanding of the material. They’re also more confident, more curious, and more willing to take academic risks—key traits in a fast-changing world. But learning doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s shaped by the physical environment. That’s why we design furniture that moves with students—literally. Desks on casters, soft seating options, and floor-level layouts enable learners to reconfigure their environment according to the task at hand. It gives students agency—and that agency fuels engagement. For younger learners, play is the gateway to discovery. For older students, flexibility allows for deeper collaboration and critical thinking. Our design philosophy supports both, from elementary classrooms to university innovation hubs. FUTURE-PROOFING EDUCATION Education leaders today are facing big questions: How do we prepare students for the unknown? How do we create learning spaces that won’t be obsolete in five years? At KI, we help answer those questions with furniture solutions for real-world environments that are adaptable, intuitive, and built to last. But ultimately, it’s about more than furniture. It’s about supporting the full learning experience. When students are comfortable, empowered, and inspired by their space, great things happen. That’s the power of good design—and it’s what KI brings to every learning environment we help create.
