Behind the Design of Flowform
Wednesday, November 4th
12:30pm CST (approx. 30 min.)
We created Flowform™ 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 to learn more about the product and why it was created.
