Visit any classroom at Albany Junior High School at any time and observe the students. They don’t fidget, their feet are flat on the floor and they look comfortable and at ease. They are sitting at desks and chairs they are correct for their height – this is the break-through design classroom furniture from Bodyfurn®.

Before the first student even arrived, Bodyfurn® was creating a sensation. In the temporary premises staff were using there was only one Bodyfurn® chair – a sample – and people were fighting over who could have it. 

‘It was amazingly comfortable’ says Senior Manager, Pat Binnie. ‘We had the same problem at a recent parents’ function.  I invited everyone to move closer to the front, but that meant giving up the Bodyfurn® chairs for conventional ones. They simply refused!’

Bodyfurn® is not only comfortable and ergonomically correct but it is also stylish and upmarket. The school looks impressive and is recognized positively in the community.

As the school grows to its eventual size of 1400 students, Bodyfurn® will be installed in each new classroom. ‘I have really enjoyed working with Furnware’ says Pat Binnie, ‘I can’t speak of them more highly’.

“When you create an impressive
environment, it has a positive
spin-off in the way people work.”
