Built for Learning.
We make 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.

These sophisticated 29″h, 36″h and 40″h tables can meet the demanding needs of your Makerspace, without the pared down “shop-class” aesthetics.

The flexible, scalable, comprehensive solution for classroom organization, storage and distribution of teaching materials.

the maker movement
In a Makerspace opportunities for demonstrations and teachable moments can come up at any time, so instructors need to be supported with mobile, versatile tools.
We don’t make K-12 school furniture as part of what we do. It’s the only thing we do.
We design for young minds. With a century of experience, we’ve learned what makes pre-K-12 education different from any other environment (spoiler alert: quite a lot), and have made it our business to cater to those unique qualities. About Smith System
