Built for Learning.
the collaborative classroom
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.
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
