Flexible Seating Allows Multiple Positions, Maximum Comfort for Active Students

Smith System’s Flavors™ Seating line allows students to comfortably adjust their posture, enhances student concentration

PLANO, TEXAS – (Feb. 17, 2010) – Physical activity throughout the day helps students expend extra energy and stay focused, putting to rest the old adage that sitting still helps students pay attention. Supporting the positive effects of motion in the classroom, Smith System has introduced the new Flavors Seating line of flexible chairs that allow students to easily adjust their position in countless ways throughout the day.

Priced to fit district budgets, the design of the Flavors Seating line allows students to modify their sitting position while supporting bodies comfortably and properly. The chairs feature a shallow seat and a uniquely curved back, allowing students to progress throughout the day facing forward, backward, left, right, or anywhere in between to accommodate classroom activities and individual comfort.

“Today’s lessons are more involved than ever before; therefore, sitting in chairs no longer means sitting still,” says Bill Risdall, vice president of marketing for Smith System. “We designed the Flavors Seating line to meet students’ natural need to move and adjust throughout the day, which helps them stay attentive during class.”

In addition to keeping students comfortable and focused, the sturdy Flavors Seating line is designed to stand up to heavy classroom use. With high-density polypropylene shells and strong steel legs or adjustable bases, chairs in the Flavors Seating line are built to stand up to years of tough use from even the most active of students.

With as many customizable options as seating positions, the Flavors Seating line includes the Stack Chair, Combo Desk, Adjustable Chair, Adjustable Stool and P-Tablet Arm Chair, each available in 14 designer colors.
