Award winning children’s furniture brand Whitney Brothers is introducing the Sky View Sanctuary. Designed as a classroom privacy space for young learners, it features vivid day and night sky scenes to transport the viewer outside under the open sky.
“The Sky View Sanctuary can be the focal point in an early learning classroom,” the announcement states. “Graceful curved side openings invite children inside the cozy interior where the brilliant day and night skies create a calm, comforting personal space to relax, read, reflect or recharge away from the bustle of a busy classroom.”
The interior includes two built-in back rests, a fitted floor pad and ample space for up to one adult and two children. On the exterior, three cascading fixed shelves on one side and two adjustable shelves on the other provide flexible storage and display options for books, toys, manipulatives or other classroom essentials. For safety, the wide side openings and transparent sky panels provide visibility of children inside from all four sides at any angle.
The Sky View Sanctuary satisfies state requirements for dedicated quiet spaces in early learning environments and coordinates with all other pieces in the company’s Nature View Collection, a biophilia-inspired furniture line for Early Learning interiors and recipient of several design awards from Interior Design and Spaces4Learning magazines.
“Scientific studies support that biophilic design can reduce stress, enhance creativity, focus clarity of thought and improve well-being, important health benefits that can foster a young child's deep connection to their learning environment and set a positive trajectory for future learning outcomes,” the announcement continues.
“The Sky View Sanctuary is a great example of how we apply fresh design thinking to Early Learning furniture and enrich its contribution to the classroom environment,” says Mike Jablonski, president of Whitney Brothers. “That philosophy shines in the Sky View Sanctuary and best illustrates the design difference of our brand.”
MSRP for the WB1213 Sky View Sanctuary is $1,699.00 USD.
Availability is immediate through authorized Whitney Brothers dealers and distributors worldwide.
