To celebrate the centenary of the designer’s birthday, British department stores and manufacturers

Launched Day’s new version of polypropylene side chairs and armchairs. New version of Day 675 chair

The new version offers the same three tones as the original color of the chair-light gray, charcoal and orange-the new version aims to restore the "freshness and authority" that the chair had when it was first introduced in the 1960s.

The Polyside chair has a plastic seat with its rolling edges fixed to the frame, which is a restoration of Day's original P5 stack frame-previously removed from the design in the 1980s.

The inclined front and rear legs are respectively composed of curved metal rods and are connected together by a single weld on each side of the chair. The armchair has a slightly wider, more bucket-shaped seat, resting on a rectangular metal base.

The Polyside design is the first mass-produced injection-molded polypropylene chair. Since its introduction in 1963, it has sold tens of millions of sets worldwide.

This also marks the first use of polypropylene in the furniture industry. Although the material was developed in 1954, only in Day and

In cooperation with BP Shell (Shell), it was discovered that the seat had a new role.

The chair was described by the Architect Magazine as "the most significant development in the field of chair design in mass production in the UK after the war." The chair won the Design Center Award in 1965 and provided seating for the 1968 Olympic Stadium in Mexico City. in 2009,

Day’s daughter Paula founded the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation to protect the inheritance of her parents. He said: “Now, no other chair with such a high design status can be sold at such a low price.” “This is my father’s conviction. Suspicious things-quality design that everyone can use."

“Working with the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation to bring this classic design back to its former glory is a challenge and a learning experience,” said Brian Foster, managing director.

"From matching the original colors to finding the perfect steel frame, we have been persevering. I really feel that we have made polypropylene side chairs and armchairs, which makes Robin Day very proud."

Two chairs will be in

'The Oxford Circus store in London will be offered as part of the Robin and Lucienne Day series.

Computers, fake frogs, new desks, etc.: a collection of opinions and news from our learning special report.

Students usually learn about moles, atoms, compounds and the complexity of the periodic table in college, but Daniel Fried firmly believes that children can learn complex biochemistry topics in elementary school.

Mr. Fried is an assistant professor of chemistry at St. Peter’s University in New Jersey. In his spare time, he offers biochemistry courses for young people, teaches fourth to sixth grade students at the nearby Montessori school, and interacts with other teachers and home school Share courses with parents around the world.

Fried said: "When children are young, they are motivated." "Teaching them is easy. They mastered the pattern so quickly. They thanked everything." He said that by contrast, high school and college students To do more work, often just want to learn the knowledge needed to pass the exam.

Mr. Fried found it easy for children interested in biochemistry-especially when they heard that they could quickly correct older siblings or cousins. He said: "The most difficult part is getting adults involved."

At Hopatcong Middle School in northern New Jersey, Jim McKowen was one of the first public school teachers to take the course. He teaches sixth graders. McCowen said that after taking a class that taught students the molecules of flavoring agents, the students returned home and searched for ingredient labels to find chemicals that they approved. He said that after class, the children would doodle molecules on the school notebooks.

Mr. Fried has introduced biochemistry to students of various ethnic and socio-economic groups in schools and museums and found that all of them are happy with the course. He said that girls have the same interest in these courses as boys, although men tend to dominate the STEM field.

Both teachers believe that the curriculum can bring more diversity to STEM. McCowyn said: "I hope it will indeed arouse people's greater interest in science in later life, and we are beginning to see these results."

However, to get there, teachers must believe that the children's abilities are beyond their imagination.

McCowen said: "Sometimes we do short our children."

Anatomy day always makes Karina Frey uneasy. Even if she calls herself a "science and math girl", she doesn't like the idea of ​​cutting into chemically preserved animals.

"I believe animals have souls," said Karina, a senior at JW Mitchell High School in New Ridge, Florida.

As young people pay more and more attention to vegetarianism and environmental issues, the choice of learning things that do not have to die is becoming more and more attractive.

Enter SynFrog: an amphibian that is as slimy as a real frog, but never breathes.

The accurately dissected fake frog made its debut at Karina High School in November. The principal of the school, Jessica Schultz (Jessica Schultz) said that it has received a warm welcome from biology teachers and students. She said that schools usually experience about 300 frogs each year, and a few students in each class always choose not to participate in homework.

According to an animal ethical treatment person, the artificial frogs developed in cooperation with the manufacturing company SynDaver collect 3 million frogs each year for classroom dissections in the United States.

The price of the first SynFrog is $150, which is more expensive than a frog's carcass ($7 to $10 each); the company hopes to lower the price in the next version. Since frogs can be used for most dissections, they can pay for themselves over time.

According to the company's CEO and founder Christopher Sakezles (Christopher Sakezles), since the frog's debut, the company has not been able to complete orders fast enough. If SynFrog becomes popular, it may change the main conditions of high school education.

Plus the cost of going to college. What is the return on that investment? Georgetown University (Georgetown University) created a model to estimate the returns of more than 4,500 universities in 40 years. This is a comparison of five classes of schools, these classes have 97% of American undergraduates.

Children like technology. They like to play games, watch videos, find music and interact with their peers on social media. They like to explore the endless resources of the Internet.

Educators take note of this and believe that computers and other devices will attract students’ interest in the school.

93% of principals and 86% of teachers said that according to the latest school data, increasing student participation is the most important benefit of using computers and tablets in classrooms.

The agency surveyed more than 26,000 teachers and librarians and nearly 2,200 administrators last year.

Nearly 70% of district administrators said that they think participation is the most effective signal, indicating that some kind of educational technology is useful.

Approximately 290,000 students surveyed responded to Speak Up quite differently: only 41% of middle school students and 35% of high school students said that they closely related classroom technology to increased participation.

More importantly, anecdotal interviews, as well as from

, A national non-profit organization that conducts student surveys, shows that when teachers hand instructions to computers, many students actually don’t like it. They say they prefer to learn directly from the teacher-because they think that the teacher is an expert or it is their job-many people complain about spending too much time on the screen between studying and using technology at home.

Gen Z may live a life fixed on a smartphone, but this does not mean that they want to use computers in the classroom.

use

Now, the annual tuition fee in public schools is about US$20,000 and the tuition fee in private schools is US$41,000. Many students have jobs to cover the costs. But in the nine institutions designated by the federal government as job colleges, jobs are included in the curriculum to offset tuition and fees. The historic black university in Dallas, Paul Quinn College, became the newest working college in 2017 and the only urban college. Now it is expanding.

"We are not one of the overstaffed schools," said the school's principal, Michael Sorrell. "Other schools may hire a lot of people to do jobs. We have invested in students to do it."

Courses are mainly held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, while Tuesday and Thursday provide students with uninterrupted work. They work in the President’s Office, campus farms (growing radishes, arugula, spinach, kohlrabi, etc.), and work outside the campus, such as JP Morgan Chase and Liberty Mutual.

This model obviously applies to Paul Quinn. The retention rate of full-time students in the first year of 2017-18 rose from 63% before the change to 71%. Two buildings are planned to open this summer, so enrollment can exceed the current approximately 500 students. One is a student dormitory, and the other is a gym and health center with classrooms.

Moreover, school leaders added a new campus in nearby Plano in 2018 and are looking for the next location. Sorell said: "I think you will see another campus in the next three years."

The neat rows of desks may soon become relics. Millions of dollars are being invested across the country to redesign classrooms, arranging bean bags, rocking chairs, and wheeled furniture in traditional layouts. As technology-driven changes increase the demand for more flexible classroom space, the North American school furniture market is expected to grow from USD 1.7 billion in 2018 to USD 2.4 billion by 2024.

Bryan Ballegeer of KI, a Wisconsin-based school furniture company, said the school administrator told him: “We’ve been sitting in the same chair for 40 years and our school system is changing. We don’t want any part of the room to become The front of the room. We hope our children will cooperate more."

In response, KI cancelled some desk/chair combinations. Now, its catalog includes standing or reflexive tables where students can study in groups and sit on the sofa to rest.

In order to find out whether furniture is helpful for learning, KI redesigned some classrooms in 9 schools and conducted before and after surveys of students and teachers. After the furniture exchange, the participation and participation of the two groups were both higher. Other research supports the view that changing the physical characteristics of the classroom can change the condition of the classroom and improve student performance.

Nonetheless, Mr. Ballegeer, a former educator, offered a warning.

He said: "My advice is to take some time to talk to your teacher and talk to your community." "It's a lot of money."

School is about to start, but not everyone will return to traditional classrooms this year. Whether to choose

Your child or your school district has decided to go online and distance learning may present challenges. To ensure that your virtual classroom is a successful classroom, consider adding flexible seating options.

It is considered as a substitute for students who sit in the same place for a long time,

Take advantage of unconventional seating options (such as bean bags or yoga balls). Benefits include improving core strength, concentration and overall comfort for a better learning experience. To help you choose the best option for your virtual classroom, we have compiled some of our favorite flexible seating options.

Yoga balls can promote healthy postures.

Your little one does not need to have the knowledge of downward dog or vinyasa first to enjoy the full benefits of Gaiam’s children keeping the game ball. The ball has a variety of colors and prints to suit your child's personality, and has five stable soft legs to hold it in place. Use it in your virtual classroom to help your students focus better and improve their posture.

The ergonomic stool is available in a variety of colors.

The ergonomic seat design is more for functional considerations than aesthetics. It has long been known for its sterile and unattractive appearance. Fortunately, this is not the case with the KidsErgo ergonomic stool. The stool is made of durable plastic with a bold modern design, which is perfect for participating in core muscle exercises and enhancing athletic ability while your child is studying. The only problem you have is choosing one of seven interesting color options that you and your little baby like best.

This flexible seating option is very cute.

Polar bears, pandas and brown bears, my goodness! Vivora's sitting ball is the ideal classroom seating option for your own cubs. The posture activation ball is not only cute, but also provides a channel for your child to release worries, anxiety and hyperactivity. The explosion-proof ball is available in two sizes, large and small, equipped with a pump, with a non-slip base, ear handle and Vivora's patented free-standing design.

A comfortable way for children to sit on the floor.

For some children, sitting at the desk for several hours may make it difficult for them to concentrate on the task at hand. To make changes, try using the Zuma series floor rockers. The special-shaped chair is available in two sizes, as well as a variety of interesting colors, curves and rocks, which can create a more comfortable learning environment for your child and make them more focused.

This inflatable ball helps to enhance core strength and posture.

Looking for a seat that can hold dual duties? The next thing to watch is the Milliard Peanut Ball. This interesting shape of inflatable ball is made of anti-explosive rubber, available in a variety of sizes and colors. When the child is learning the lesson of the day, it can be used to improve the child’s posture and core muscles, and then turn it back to play time and incorporate it into play time to enhance the child’s overall motor skills. Ride a horse like a horse or play hot potatoes. You can do almost anything with it.

It is perfect for those with the smallest space.

Not everyone has room for dedicated classrooms or extra seats at home. Fortunately, the inflatable stable balance plate chosen by the therapist does not require much space. The budget-friendly seat option can be used with any child chair you already own or on the floor alone to increase core stability, increase muscle tone and improve balance and body posture. At the end of the school day, you can put it away without taking up too much space.

The swinging stool is perfect for children who need to fidget.

If your child has extra energy to burn, then finding the right seat choice may affect whether they have a successful school year. To help them focus on learning better, please try the Wobble Chair by Lakeshore Learning. The specially designed stool has 3 different heights, and its round base allows children to swing and swing freely during work without worrying about falling.

Turn their obsession with stuffed animals into flexible and comfortable seating options.

For parents who are dissatisfied with their children’s large collection of plush toys, this is a way to finally make the most of them in your virtual classroom. The stuffed animal storage beanbag chair is made of high-quality cotton canvas and can double as a chair and toy storage. The chair is made of various solid and printed fabrics and can accommodate 195 small plush toys or 110 medium-sized plush toys. You can use it as a flexible seating option when telling a story, or even as a place for your child to lie in during a much-needed nap time.

The laptop allows them to do their homework anywhere.

On the sofa or on the floor, the ECR4Kids Surf portable lap desk allows your child to study comfortably wherever they are. Surf offers eight color options, combined with a portable writing desk and chair, with a fashionable design and more fashionable than teenagers. It also meets our three major requirements for flexible seats: easy to clean, easy to transport and easy to store.

A set of rainbow stackable stools is a budget-friendly option.

Although a flexible seat is a great tool to use in a virtual classroom, it can be expensive depending on the seat you choose and whether you have multiple children. To save money, look for seats that are sold in bulk (for example, the Pearlton plastic stool stackable stool). These colorful stools are sold in five sets ($10 each), are lightweight, have a plastic and steel frame, and can be easily wiped off. Stools can also be stacked together so that you can easily store or pack them after school.

Take up most of you

? One solution is to invest in a set of space-saving stacking and folding

When you are accompanied, you can easily bring yourself out; when you are not accompanied, you can take it away.

What to get? "Look for chairs that are both beautiful and durable so that they fit your decor, not against it," Jade Joyner, co-founder and chief designer

. Below, six designers and decorators shared their favorites of flexible seating, and we added some seats that look more similar (and more expensive).

According to the interior designer

, Many from

Designers are ideal for stacking and saving space. She said: "At that time, they seemed to have invested a lot of attention in this area, so of course, I will always strive for age." She likes these classic plastic Eames chairs, especially because of its thin metal legs. , She said, this makes them more compact than wooden-leg chairs. She added: "I think they are more precious for small spaces."

This is another molded plastic chair with metal feet at a low price.

interior designer

Not only do her clients like Kartell Masters chairs; she also uses them at her breakfast table. She likes chairs with armrests, but the stacking style is not always the case. She said: "Even if it is plastic, its appearance is very delicate, you can easily clean it." This chair has a modern feel, with a mid-century silhouette and a variety of unique colors.

If you want more affordable products, please try products similar to Masters, or you can choose similar shades

.

In order to get more leisure space, Baradaran often uses Hay’s stacking chairs-

Our strategy experts already know and love it. "It's very durable and has some interesting colors," Baradaran said. "We have used it in playrooms and playrooms." She likes the clean lines of the chair and the versatility of the different rooms.

Similar to the stacking method, this fiberglass and steel chair is one of Clasen's favorites. She said: "It almost looked like a classroom chair, but then it gave the legs a fan."

Like Hay and Schoolhouse chairs, these chairs look like old-fashioned industrial conference classrooms.

"I really like

Because of their luxurious interiors," said Caetlin founder and interior designer Caitlin Murray

, They turned to Industrial West for its exquisite and durable stacking chairs. She suggested: "Generally speaking, when you don't have much space, the most important thing is to choose a multifunctional chair." These chairs are stylish and comfortable, so they are very cost-effective.

Interestingly, another selected item of Clasen is metal Tolix, and the one we recently discovered is Anna Wintour’s

(Obviously state

Although your house seems to be tidy

The mid-century atmosphere can accommodate stacked chairs, and there are many decorative styles for you to choose from. The interior designer said: “Mixed-century chairs in traditional houses may cause design problems.”

. "On the contrary, choose clean lines or tavern-style chairs, which will reduce disgust." She recommends these more traditional wooden chairs to change the appearance.

For something different, try these colorful stools recommended by Albers. She said: "For the most challenging storage environment, stools are a good choice." "There are many compact, chic stools, even your most fashionable guests won't mind sitting on them." In addition, they look like Very neat, piled up in a spiral.

We also like this budget-friendly set of three colorful stools.

Don't discount the basic metal folding chair, especially when it is updated in unexpected colors. Alexa Battista, public relations expert

Said: "Your simple plastic or metal folding chairs will be very compact and easy to store." "I also like the smooth metal chairs, which are painted white [or] soft pink," Joyner added. "They are streamlined, durable, and look beautiful in more modern spaces."

They are definitely an investment, but these elegant vintage chairs recommended by Murray can be stacked or folded. She said: "I bet you don't think folding chairs would be such a fascinating thing." The metal back cover folds down for easy stacking.

Although it echoes the folding design of the dormitory room-style butterfly chair, it is made of butter leather and natural oak, but it is far from the plastic version when you were in college. Albers said, "not only lazy, but completely unexpected."

Cheaper leather hanging chairs.

Joyner said: "My favorite folding chairs are bamboo chairs, they have a little luster to them, because they can adapt to all interior styles very well." "I hide about twelve of them for the party. And I also like to spread them out in the spring when friends come over." She likes that these have a shell-like appearance and can work indoors or outdoors.

This folding chair is another folding chair recommended by Battista for outdoor use. She said: "The traditional folding wooden chair with slatted details... is a classic and timeless work that will always be popular." Use it with a cushion to get more color and increase comfort.

For entertaining seats, Albers likes these colorful printed folding chairs in Anthropologie's in-house production line
