With the introduction of Penny by Harter, an occasional table is now an active partner in third-space learning and working environments. Penny addresses New Workstyles emerging from today’s wireless technology with friendly materials and versatile functionality.

Penny’s thin profile suggests lightness and portability, but this simple, timeless design is grounded in sound structure. Whether holding a laptop or double latte, Penny provides a stable platform through a modified X base made of sturdy cast aluminum, which creates a natural footrest. An intuitive ratchet mechanism makes easy height adjustments.

A waterfall urethane edge forms a soft grip for easy handling, tapering to shallower edges on non-user sides of the rectangular top. Penny’s standard finishes include 10 urethane edge colors that pair with up to 12 easy-to-clean laminates. Top shapes include rectangle and oval (15” d x 20” w).
Penny was designed with the environment in mind, using recycled and recyclable materials, with a minimal impact on indoor air quality, and it is pending BIFMA LEVEL certification.

Dewey 6-Top by Fixtures Furniture from izzy+ won the Educational Solutions Gold Award at NEOCON 2010. The 6-Top is a delightful extension of the Dewey collection for educational solutions. Patterns of collaboration and change found in learning inspire a whimsical gathering place for up to 6 people that earns an A+.

Inspired by the changes in working and learning patterns found in today’s universities, the Dewey 6-Top Table adds a spur-of-the-moment gathering place for up to six people to meet and use technology in the classroom, library or student union. The 6-Top Table brings people closer together for team collaboration by reducing the standard conference table footprint. For extra credit, take notes, sketch or share ideas on the optional marker board surface of this creatively shaped table.
Designed by Chuck Saylor, izzy+, and Joey Ruiter, JRuiter Studio, the 6-Top Table can stand alone, pair with the Dewey 27” depth table to build wing configurations or link to other 6-Top Tables at a busy student union. It also doubles as a meeting table in the CEO’s office, where you can sit (29 inches) or stand (42 inches).

Quality and durability are must-haves in learning, so the 6-Top Table offers hard-wearing, grunge-free design, with urethane edges and power coated aluminum parts. Fasteners – no welds – enable easy service and maintenance. It’s also constructed with recycled and recyclable materials to remain true to the izzy+ principles of sustainability.
