Collaboration Triangle Collaboration Pinwheel Collaboration Leaf
Made up of three mirrored element pairs, the collaboration triangle shape is the new "classic" collaborative furniture shape. People naturally gather around the ends, but may also work side-by-side. This pinwheel is made up of six left igroup® elements. Each user area is well defined, but a simple shift in body language includes the neighbors. Angles naturally provide privacy for thoughtful study. Corners become conference areas. The mirrored elements used for the Collaboration Triangle can be re-arranged to produce this Collaboration Leaf. This combination shape has a corner like a triangle, a side-by-side area, and the pinwheel's returns.

the basic element:

The iGroup® element is triangular with a curv on the user's side. Made in mirror image left and rights, iGroup elements assemble to form a myriad of interactive shapes. Get creative with your classroom planning. Change up the arrangement for different group settings. Experiment with different shapes to find out what works best for your students and their learning styles.

Leg heights can be ordered to scale with the size of your student bodies for grades K-12. The standard adult size leg is 28 inches, but can be made to order in a range of 24 to 28 inches.

Locking casters allow easy mobility and stationary performance in use. Available in HPL laminate topswith PVC edge trim (shown) or 3D Thermofoil with contoured edges.
