The future of our education spaces has become a major topic of debate in the post COVID-19 world. The question of how can we make our schools safer and more adaptable for both students and teachers is now more important than ever.

The Acoustic Slider Range, developed in conjunction with architects, was created by Lotus to meet the needs of open-learning classrooms and to accommodate a wide range of teaching philosophies and styles. With safety, ease of use and great design front of mind, Lotus Acoustic Sliders are available in solid and glass finishes that help to maximise light transfer whilst achieving inclusive visual connectivity.

The company works with architects, builders and educators to create innovative design solutions. They efficiently manufacture and install products meeting relevant legislation (Disability and Discrimination Act Compliance) and building requirements. The flexibility and adaptive nature of Lotus Operable Wall and Acoustic Slider products assist people to experience spaces in a variety of ways, helping them learn and teach in ways tailored to individual and group needs.

The quality of their work is evident in the award winning projects their products have been a part of. Richmond High School, one of Australia’s first vertical state high schools, designed by Hayball Architects won the Best Secondary School Project for the 2019 Victorian School Design Awards with the use of Lotus Acoustic Sliders and Operable Walls.

It’s clear that Lotus make it their business to be the brand leader for those who want to transform the way we live, learn, work and play. It’s a company that takes great pride in creating spaces where people can not only perform but thrive.

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
