Every horizontal surface is a dry-wipe writable work surface. Every horizontal surface is also a seat (sitting on the ‘tables’ is positively, joyously encouraged).

Create tiered seating or use the benches as sitting and / or standing height collaborative worksurfaces. It’s one small but significant (dry-wipe) step towards a next-generation learning space.

The Heppell Bench set consists of four benches; two low, one mid and one tall, that nest together. It’s up to you (and your students) how you deploy them but they can be used:

• together as tiered seating, which is ideal when you want to gather the class together for instruction or discussion,
• as a large table for collaborative tasks with the sitting height benches on either side,
• as a standing height table for exploratory work.
