From libraries and labs to lounges and cafes, learning happens everywhere, and it s more engaging, collaborative, and inspiring than ever.

2 So much to learn, so many ways to go about it Teaching and learning are on an exciting journey. Today s classrooms are being flipped, connected, and reconfigured, and lots of learning is happening outside of classrooms, too. From libraries and labs to lounges and cafes, learning happens everywhere, and it s more engaging, collaborative, and inspiring than ever. PEDAGOGY STUDENT TECHNOLOGY Many of these changes have been sparked by innovation in learning technology, pedagogy, and space design. The result? More engaging and inspiring experiences in and outside of the classroom. These drivers of change call for new approaches to furniture, tools, and spaces. The izzy+ family of brands is ready to deliver! 2 SPACE

4 Going to the source to discover and design what works Our own interest in teaching and learning intensified in 2006, when requests for technology-friendly classroom furniture spiked. We responded by sending three researchers on a journey to 23 colleges and universities, where they asked questions, observed interactions, and brainstormed ideas with the experts. Hannah chair by izzy and Dewey 6-Top tables by Fixtures Furniture That research led to the development of learning-focused products like the Dewey collection (which won Best of NeoCon awards in 2009 & 2010). We ve also identified other products within our family of brands that support the needs of today s learners, creating a complete collection that s always flexible mix, match, arrange, and repurpose to your heart s content.
