Le Petunia & Fanté

Le Petunia is a table. Fanté is a stool. Together they help kindergartners develop healthy habits and social skills at an early age.

Current kindergarten classrooms are filled with static furniture that get in the way for the over energized students. Instead of being tied down to a desk for several hours a day, the Fanté stool includes storage and also wheels which allows students to switch desks and work together in groups with different students more easily. Le Petunia table is able to be in different arrangements to keep the classroom fresh and energetic. It also includes a central offset in the table that prevents supplies from rolling off the table, and also creates a sharing space.
