Steelcase President Jim Keane and the Steelcase design team introduce the new “Node” Student Learning Pod at Tribeca Flashpoint Media Arts Academy.

From Steelcase.com :

In reinventing the traditional classroom chair, we didn’t go back to the drawing board. We went back to school. We found classrooms that were static, allowing only for passive, one-way learning. We met educators with a desire to implement multiple pedagogies to support multiple learning styles. But today’s classrooms are still unresponsive and unsupportive.

The node chair is mobile and flexible. It’s designed for quick, easy transitions between one mode to the next. With node, a classroom can flex from a lecture-based mode to a team-based mode, and back again, without interruption.
