Find Dauphin at upcoming education events and learn more about what we have to offer! We will be at the National Summer Learning Summit in Washington, D.C. November 10-13 and at Ed Spaces in Houston, TX at Booth 243 November 12-14.

 

Dauphin products are perfect for educational environments where practicality matters as much as support for collaboration and focus. 

  • Plinth bases and bleach-cleanable fabrics for easy upkeep
  • Fixed seating and tables for auditoriums and lecture halls
  • Nesting and stacking chairs for flexible spaces
  • Collaborative and acoustic spaces to support groups or quiet study
  • We can also add features like clean-outs for easier cleaning

Plinth Bases

Plinth is a thin surface applied to the base of furniture, pictured above on our Hiline Cafe. Plinth allows for much easier cleaning and upkeep because it keeps crumbs and small items from going under benches and sofas. With less maneuvering to sweep and mop in high-traffic common areas, facilities employees are able to be more efficient. Spaces stay cleaner and look more tidy without any additional work for your team. 

Plinth bases don't have to be black. We can create plinth from lighter wood tones as pictured below on our classic Hiline collaborative lounge configurations. 

 

 

Fixed Seating

Fixed seating and fixed tables allow you to create high-performing learning environments that support instruction and listening as well as entertainment and training. Fixed elements make a consistent aesthetic that is easier to maintain than freestanding tables and chairs. 

Products like our Rota fixed seating and tables, pictured above, optimize learning spaces by bringing power, seating, and surface together for a consistent user experience. We also provide additional benefits thanks to Rota's tiered height options. In rooms without ascending levels, you can still create clear sight lines with three chair and table heights. This allows customers to construct a greater array of learning spaces within their existing spaces—no new architecture needed.

 

 

Nesting Chairs

Nesting chairs are perfect for spaces that need to flex—bigger, smaller, and in new configurations. Chairs that can stack and nest allow people to add others to their discussions and training sessions. Able to fit neatly into storage or expand into rows, clusters, or facing inward for instruction, flexible seating is ideal for education environments that change daily and even from moment to moment. 

Pictured above, Cempa Nesting chairs also have features like arms and the innovative anti-panic tablet to bring greater functionality to learning spaces. 

 

Acoustic and Collaborative Spaces

Acoustic spaces like our telephone pods and room-in-room systems that can scale up to accommodate much larger groups allow education spaces to deliver on both creative collaboration and private focus. 

Lively, open plans allow students to come together for spirited discussions and brainstorming, but students also need quite areas for deep studying and problem-solving. Acoustic spaces offer this versatility, as do highly popular work lounges. 

Work lounges incorporate soft seating with walls and a work surface to fit comfort and support into a highly efficient footprint. Our collaborative lounge products have work lounge configurations with additional options for power, casters, walls, and more.
