Emoji™ Desking + SeatingSay hi to Emoji. The newest expression in comfort and flexibility. Emoji desking + seating is ergonomically designed to boost our well-being: healthy minds and attentive bodies.

Emoji goes beyond the physical. It’s emotional, too.

Say hi to Emoji. The newest expression in comfort + flexibility.

In every classroom, there’s a flurry of stimulus and activity, and humans can lose focus. In such an energized space, emotions rarely sit still.

Just like kids. They fidget. So Emoji is designed to move with them.

To flex with their bodies, and their minds. Human perception of comfort is affected by every aspect of our environment: what surrounds us, how we behave, the tech we touch, and everything we sense and feel.

At every age, Emoji Desking + Seating is designed to support us. The Child version is playful and soft, with a built-in smiley face to elicit a connection to joy and happiness. While support structure of the Adult chair more closely mimics the grown-up spine and pelvis.

Because bodies, like perception, continue to change.

Emoji Desking + Seating is ergonomically designed to boost our well-being: healthy minds and attentive bodies.

Emoji pleases planners, too. The universal table shapes fit together in lots of ways. Giving students and teachers a choice in what kind of learning space works best for them. To collaborate, communicate, and engage in critical thinking.

And have fun, too. Because at its best, a classroom is a cheerful, inviting, and purposeful place. Where desks and chairs don’t add stress or pain. Where we explore, excite, and expand minds. And where we experience comfort not just with our bodies, but with our minds, too.

Emoji goes beyond the physical. It’s emotional, too.

We see with our hands. This means that what we touch and feel has a major effect on how we respond to things. Cold, rough, and sharp textures are all are interpreted as uninviting conditions. Emoji has textured zones to hold you firmly in your seat while you’re sitting down and to keep rough areas away from where you touch. The human brain also responds exceptionally well when presented with a single, obvious place or method to grab, hold, or move something. The Emoji handle is a critical gesture of empathy to the human brain.

Color can be used scientifically in architecture to promote certain types of behaviors or emotions in an environment. The human eye and brain can interpret color and generate an emotional or physical response based on the color itself. Bright primary colors, neons, and bright multi-colored patterns will generate excitement, increase awareness of overall surroundings, and heighten the mind’s production of chemicals that increase energy and activity. Muted colors and monochromatic environments have the opposite effect. They trigger the release of chemicals in the brain that will promote relaxation and calm.

Look, Touch, Listen The human perception of comfort is affected by every aspect of our environment. Emoji features and details were designed to generate a sensory response.

Sound is an unlikely, but major source of disruption. Additionally, ambient noise is constantly requiring the ears and brain to interpret sound, which leads to fatigue by the end of the day. Emoji uses rubber bumpers and quiet casters to minimize distraction.
