Behind the Design of Flowform and Orbit
Wednesday, October 7th
12:30pm CST
We created Flowform™ and Orbit™ to address a conceptual need that emerged from early design charrettes: freedom. Students want the physical tools that allow them to take control. They want fun furniture options that help them fulfill their own pedagogy and functionality, while educators want durability, versatility and value. Thats where we began. Go Behind the Design of Flowform and Orbit to learn more about the product and why it was created.
