KI’s LEARN2 CHAIR AND ITS ALTERNATIVE USES - ENDORSED BY iPHONE AND iPAD MAGAZINE AND ROB KIRKBRIDE OF MMQB
KI’s Learn2 is the perfect combination of a desk and chair designed to suit a variety of needs – it is functional, mobile and stylish. With its fully adjustable, dual-handed worksurface, the chair adapts to each user’s personal space and provides customised comfort.
Learn2 is a student-focused chair and table which transforms learning environments. But it is also incredibly flexible and therefore ideal in a variety of settings: corporate, office, home and even as a dining table.
iPhone and iPad Life Magazine have endorsed and awarded a 5 Star rating for KI’s Learn2 chair.
Mike Riley from iPhone Life Magazine commented:
“If you're looking for an especially durable desk with a 21st century educational furniture design aesthetic with an iPad-friendly desk surface, nothing else compares to the KI Learn2. Seeing a desk like this makes me wish I was back in school again!”
He added:
“Remember the old desk you used to sit at when you went to school? Imagine taking that school desk concept and updating it to 21st century design aesthetics and functionality. Students carrying backpacks drink bottles and tablets need a place to easily store these items while ingesting knowledge. KI Learn2 Tablet desk is that futuristic vision turned to reality.”
Rob Kirkbride of MMQB (Monday Morning Quarter Back, USA) writes:
“More and more of us spend much of our day on mobile devices such as ipads. We no longer need furniture to hold our technology since it now fits in the front pocket of our shirts and a zipped pouch in our purses. We carry our ‘office’ around with us. That is why Learn2 is suitable for any setting – not just educational environments.”
He continues:
“Learn2 is an all-in-one unit with a comfortable chair, expansive and highly movable tray with ample storage underneath, including a drinks holder for my coffee, the living room when I need a change of scenery and even outside on my porch.”
Learn2 can be used for collaborative dining where each guest has a Learn2 to use and when it is time for dinner the guests simply pull them all together, nose to nose to create one large dining room table.
The writing tablet swivels 154 degrees and moves in/out for customised comfort and enhanced interaction whilst the support arm rotates right/left 220 degrees to accommodate any preferred position. Options include polypropylene or laminate writing tablets, castors or glides, upholstered seat pads and dual accessory racks. There are two chair styles available – Intellect Wave and Strive, both have a choice of 20 colours.
