Education
Learning environments are special places and consideration must be given to the design layout and the use of furniture. Why? Because these key elements can impact how students learn, how they interact with their environment and other students and teachers, and how the space connects with and supports pedagogical approach.
Rhubarb Seating
We have a talented team with decades of experience working within the education sector, developing seating suitable for students and designing room plans to overcome challenges. From early years settings, to schools, colleges and universities, we have a product portfolio and proven track record of delivering seating solutions for busy learning spaces.
A Seat For Every Student
Form and function when it comes to seating is what we do best. We listen to what you are trying to achieve from the space and make recommendations on the style, design and finish of the seating that will offer best value and maximum functionality. This could be seating from our standard range or bespoke options we create specifically for the requirement. Our seating has been used in many areas across education, including multipurpose chairs for classrooms and break-out areas, stools and modular soft seating for collaborative spaces or LRC’s, booth seating and café chairs for dining areas, and sofas and armchairs for reception or communal spaces.

Getting the Finish Right
We offer advice on fabrics and finishes so you have confidence the seating is fit for purpose. It could be that you require wipe clean anti-microbial vinyl for a dining hall, a durable but comfortable fabric for a communal or student lounge area, or something to make a statement in a reception space. We offer a broad range of different fabrics in many colours and patterns appropriate for education environments.
Manufacturing & Project Management
As manufacturers we offer full flexibility when it comes to product design and delivery lead-times. We are in complete control of our production processes, enabling us to quickly supply a top-up of a few chairs, or scale up to supply seating for a full refurbishment project or new build school. Our in-house design team can produce floor plans and 3D renders to help clients visualise how seating will look in situ. We have good relationships with the main contractors involved in education projects and can flex our production schedules to accommodate changes in project delivery dates, phased rollouts and where necessary store furniture until rooms are ready for install.
