The KI Intellect line of classroom furniture was designed to improve student ergonomics and reduce fidgeting in order to increase learning. The furniture needed to be durable enough for student use while still light enough for children to move. It was also designed to accommodate different body sizes, technologies, and be nestable and stackable for flexible classroom setups. Various chair and leg designs were considered in sketches before settling on a simpler, stronger, and more timeless final design.
