Achieve comfort and flexibility by configuring stylish layouts of your choice with our modular soft seating. Modular soft seating can be easily reconfigured to suit any activity.
4-6 person soft seating booths are ideal for collaborative learning environments. They allow students to work creatively in small groups whilst minimising distraction to other parts of the study.

The use of media stations gives students access to shared IT and presentation resources whilst working in groups.
