The Umami system by Steelcase, while primarily intended for offices, works extremely well in education spaces-and looks good doing it.

Comprising lounges, platforms, tables, screens, and power, Umami creates a flexible space where people can work individually or in groups. All elements "simply and securely link together and unlock just as easily."

A sweeping curve on lounge units means workers and students can sit comfortably in traditional and relaxed positions. And the collection's screens allow for semi-private areas that balance solitude and openness.

Shapely and refined, Umami also appeals to people's tactile desires, with a wide range of materials that evoke comfort and creativity. The system also incorporates connectivity.
