GROW Soft Seating

• Biophilic Calming Effect: The natural green color and outdoor aesthetic leverage biophilic design principles, which studies show naturally reduces stress, fatigue and anxiety in learning environments
• Rich Tactile Input: artificial grass provides a distinct, textured surface that students can run their hands over. This grounding touch mechanism helps calm overstimulated nervous systems or stimulate under-responsive ones
• Proprioceptive Feedback: Because the pieces nest and stack, students can physically interact with their environment by rearranging the modules. Moving these sturdy foam structures serves as a form of “heavy work,” which calms the body and improves spatial awareness.
• Enclosed “Safe” Spaces: The hollowed-out shapes allow students to semi-enclose themselves. For a child seeking a sensory-friendly “cocoon” or boundary away from a bustling classroom, these pieces offer a comforting sense of security and reduced environmental noise.

GROW series is built around intentional, multi-functional design that adapts to how a child needs to move and feel. Our Nest series can be used a sturdy dome to sit on top of, or flipped turned to create a cozy cocoon allowing for subtle, self-regulating movement.

Similarly, the versatile small and large nesting benches transition seamlessly from a traditional bench to a cozy, supportive sofa setup depending on the configuration. When individual or collaborative activities wrap up, the entire collection nests perfectly inside itself—saving precious classroom real estate while keeping the space clean and organized.
