DESIGNING FOR INNOVATION, COLLABORATION, AND INSPIRATION

Hult International Business School is dedicated to inspiring, connected educational spaces that foster student innovation and collaboration. The school’s campuses in London and Cambridge demonstrate a thoughtful approach to spatial planning, ensuring that students thrive in the institution’s many dynamic learning spaces. Here, every educational space is not just a backdrop, but plays an active role in shaping the educational journey.

The spaces within Hult reflect the school’s forward-thinking approach to education, integrating modern aesthetics with functional design. Open and flexible layouts encourage teamwork, communication, and critical thinking, creating an atmosphere where students can engage deeply with their studies.

The choice of seating significantly impacts student engagement, mobility, and the overall learning experience. So to fully support their vision, Hult needed adaptable and high-quality furniture, making HOWE’s 40/4 chair and SixE chair the perfect picks for their flexibility, comfort, and modern aesthetic.

Both chairs are designed with space efficiency in mind. The 40/4 chair, an original award-winning design classic by David Rowland, can be stacked up to 40 chairs high on a trolley, maximizing storage and allowing for quick reconfiguration of a space.

The SixE chair by Pearson Lloyd also offers exceptional stackability and durability, making it ideal for dynamic learning environments. Designed for prolonged use, both chairs provide ergonomic support, ensuring comfort for students throughout study sessions. Their high-quality materials and ease of handling guarantee durability, making them sustainable investments for busy educational settings.

“BY INCORPORATING HOWE’S FLEXIBLE SEATING SOLUTIONS, HULT INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS SCHOOL HAS BETTERED ITS ABILITY TO CREATE TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING SPACES - WHERE STUDENTS CAN COLLABORATE, INNOVATE, AND PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE.”
