the collaborative classroom
We make school furniture specifically for pre-K-12 teachers and students. Everything is tailored to how they work, how they think and even how they fidget. When you’re ready, we’ll partner with you to curate the best possible spaces – school by school, classroom by classroom.
We don’t make educational furniture as part of what we do. It’s the only thing we do.

News: Smith System® is now part of the Steelcase® family of brands!
