EDspaces 2025 was more than an event — it was a celebration of innovation, collaboration, and the shared mission to create better learning environments for students and educators alike. At Smith System®, we were proud to debut our newest products, designed to extend learning into every corner of the school. From classrooms and commons to makerspaces and career and technical education (CTE) labs, our latest designs empower schools to adapt, inspire, and evolve with the needs of today’s learners.

Throughout the week, we connected with architects, designers, and educators who share our passion for purposeful design. Together with our partners at Schmidt Associates, we explored the CTE spaces of the future — where hands-on learning meets flexible functionality. And with DLR Group, we rediscovered the joy that color brings to learning environments, inspiring creativity and connection. We wrapped up the week with a little rock-and-roll energy at our School of Rock Happy Hour, featuring the talented student musicians who reminded us why we do what we do.

At Smith System, every collaboration, every conversation, and every product design comes back to one purpose: enabling the genius inside every student. As we look ahead, we’re continuing to navigate what’s next in education — designing furniture that makes learning engaging and future-ready.
