Mr. Caraway
Social Emotional Learning Classroom
Fort King Middle School
Ocala, Florida
“This classroom is designed with heart. It’s a space where students feel ownership, safety, and pride. Every detail—from flexible seating to calming corners—is intentional, reflecting the diverse needs and voices of the children I serve. It’s not just a room it’s a launchpad for confidence, creativity, and connection.”
Mrs. Harrison
Career Technical Education Classroom
Acceleration West High School
Orlando, Florida
“In a high school Career and Technology Education classroom, the use of KI’s Ruckus furniture helps create a professional, business-like atmosphere that mirrors modern workspaces. This classroom design will offer students an atmosphere unlike a traditional classroom setting.”
Mrs. Mosely
STEM Classroom
Hornets Nest Elementary
Charlotte, North Carolina
“Currently my classroom consists of different zones for collaborative and individual learning. KI furniture can help me bring it to life by adding brighter colors, allowing my kids to freely move (wheel and push) the furniture easily…I truly believe a new classroom environment will allow the kids to focus while still having fun.”
Mr. Goveia
Social Sciences Classroom
Thomas Metcalf Laboratory School
Normal, Illinois
“When you walk into this design, you will immediately feel ‘oh wow - this is awesome.’ That sense of wonder and amazement lets emerging adolescents feel instant connection and want to be in the space. That desire to belong and feel comfortable and seen. When students feel belonging and feel seen, they engage.”
Ms. Ferbet
Career Technical Education Classroom
Oak Grove High School
Oak Grove, Missouri
“Young people deserve spaces that inspire them. Students will be able to make this place their own. They will be able to feel energized in a space that brings positive energy to their day.”
Mrs. Parrish
English Language Arts Classroom
Gautier Middle School
Gautier, Mississippi
“I know the right learning environment can make a significant difference in student engagement and success. My current furniture restricts the flexibility of my classroom, and I want to provide my students with a space that truly supports their learning.”
Ms. Jelly
Special Education Classroom
Northridge High School
Layton, Utah
“Since my classroom is so diverse in student's needs, having furniture that can move and a place where they feel most comfortable to learn would help support each student where they are.”
Ms. Regina
STEM Classroom
Latitude 37.8 High School
Oakland, California
“We want to bring the energy and openness of a San Francisco startup space into our Oakland classroom—so our students don’t feel education is worlds away from opportunity.”
Ms. O’Donnell
Math Intervention Center
Ann Richards School For Young Women Leaders
Austin, Texas
“Imagine a math classroom buzzing with excitement—a welcoming, adaptable space designed to shape future STEM leaders…math becomes accessible and curiosity-driven, proving that in a supportive environment, every student can succeed.”
Mrs. Daniels
Library Media Center
Summerfield Crossings Elementary School
Riverview, Florida
“This space will boost student engagement by offering a hands-on, flexible environment that encourages exploration and creativity. With open layouts and movable KI furniture, collaboration becomes natural, allowing students to easily form groups and share ideas.”
Mrs. Wheeler
Library Media Center
North Andrew
Rosendale, Missouri
“Our library is used by all our students from kindergarten to high school. Clearly, that is a diverse population! Utilizing KI furniture that is versatile and mobile will help us easily adjust no matter who is using the library.”
Mrs. Floyd
Library Media Center
Twin Rivers High School
Broseley, Missouri
“By modernizing the library with KI’s flexible, inviting furniture, we’ll transform it into a space students want to be...this refreshed environment will encourage students to gather, explore, and engage bringing new energy and purpose to the heart of our school.”
