Complete primary and secondary education with 2,300 students enrolled.
Jianqing Experimental School is a long-established education facility in central Shanghai. With a floor space of nearly 30,000 sq.m, their 68 classes teach complete primary and secondary education to over 2300 students.
When the art department renovated its largest classroom, the school was looking for a range of visually appealing furniture to compliment the playful nature of the environment. The furniture also needed to be sturdy, with a long lifespan, easy to clean, and easily stored. Above all, they were looking for colourful chairs, and tables which could easily be rearranged to cater to large and small group work, whilst also providing enough space for individual tasks.
After a consultation period, the school chose 10 Twisted Little Star tables, with a set of 40 Profim Noor chairs.
The chairs were specified in three different colours, yellow, red, and white, coordinating with the overall design of the workspace. With a five-year warranty, Profim Noor chairs are built to withstand the daily rigours of an active school, whilst their simple shape makes them easily wiped down when messy. Their strong ergonomic design also provides a healthy sitting position.
Twisted Little Star has a very playful shape, like a jigsaw piece, naturally providing 4 individual work areas on a single desk. They can be joined together to create differently shaped work areas. With a wide surface area and a simple yet elegant leg design, they are easy to wipe down and provide no hidden areas for grime to accumulate.
"We love the colours available with the Profim Noor. They are surprisingly comfortable, especially with the support they provide in the lumbar area. And the Twisted Little Star is a table suitable for my class because the mix of senior and junior students makes it convenient to divide them into different groups easily." - ART TEACHER, JIANQING EXPERIMENTAL SCHOOL
