New Smith System 2010 School Furniture Catalog Now Available

Easy-to-use catalog features comprehensive product lines, simplifies furniture selection process

PLANO, TEXAS – (April 15, 2010) – Whether seeking school furniture for a single classroom or an entire school district, the 2010 edition of Smith System’s product catalog makes finding the right products easier than ever. Available in both hard copy and electronic format, the catalog can be accessed at www.smithsystem.com under “Request a Catalog” or by calling 1-800-328-1061.

Smith System’s largest catalog in its 105-year history, the 2010 catalog showcases individual products and comprehensive product lines that create virtually endless options. With more than 250 pages of new and tried-and-true school furniture – from student desks and school chairs, to classroom storage and shelving – the 2010 Smith System catalog simplifies the furniture decision-making process, allowing schools to find their unique product mix quickly and efficiently.

The easy-to-use catalog is divided first by product categories, then by individual product lines. Smith System furniture is designed to work alone or as a suite of products, fostering a cohesive learning environment throughout an entire school or campus.

“The design of the catalog makes it incredibility easy to find individual products,” says Bill Risdall, vice president of marketing for Smith System. “But we also want people to realize that Smith System school furniture is intended to work together as a unified whole to create an entire environment geared toward enhancing both student and educator performance.”

New products showcased in the 2010 catalog include:

• Flavors™ Student Seating – Influenced by the demands of the active classroom, Flavors Seating allows students to easily adjust their position throughout the day. With shallow seats and uniquely curved backs, Flavors Seating enables students to progress through the day facing forward, backward, left or right to accommodate classroom activities and individual comfort.
• Interchange™ Wing School Desk – The newest addition to Smith System’s Interchange™ line of desks, the Interchange Wing Desk sports a triangular-shaped desktop that provides an ample, stable workspace for individual activities such as testing and lectures. When the lesson shifts from individual work to group projects, the Interchange Wing Desk can be intuitively arranged in groups of two, four, six or eight — all ideal configurations for collaborative work.
• Cascade™ Classroom Storage – A comprehensive storage solution, the new Cascade Storage and Tote system provides a convenient way to manage learning materials for the whole school. Designed to accommodate tactile, three-dimensional learning aids in the classroom, the Cascade Storage and Tote system stores and organizes materials beyond book and papers, making the classroom and individual learning spaces clutter-free.

More than simply a purchasing tool, the 2010 Smith System catalog helps educators select and configure furniture to support curriculum, teaching styles and technology in the classroom.
