Flexible Furniture
Understanding the significance of the learning environment – the way space, materials, furniture, and mood work together to support diverse learning and teaching styles, it's at the core of the Elizabeth Richards approach to flexible learning. read more...
An important part of the Elizabeth Richards commitment to supporting learning outcomes is offering flexible learning choices. We believe a flexible approach supports the learning diversity you see in your classroom every day.
Embrace learning diversity by creating a flexible classroom learning environment.
Giving careful planning to the way the learning space impacts children’s ability to concentrate and focus and planning around the needs of your students ensures they have improved learning outcomes. All children acquire and process information differently, therefore classrooms need to be flexible and adaptable, allowing children to choose the way they learn best. When students feel relaxed and comfortable, they’re more receptive to acquiring new information making both the learning and teaching process fun and effective.
At Elizabeth Richards, we strive to help teachers and educators create innovative learning spaces that cater to the diversity children bring to the classroom. We have an extensive range of flexible furniture that allows you to easily plan unique teaching and learning arrangements that answer the ever-changing needs of your classroom.
Manufactured to the highest safety and quality standards
Elizabeth Richards flexible chairs, desks, whiteboards, ottomans, and chill-out chairs have become an integral part of Australian classrooms. Designed to support different learning and teaching styles, our flexible furniture range offers endless possibilities for creating dynamic and engaging classroom environments.
What makes flexible furniture different to traditional chairs and desks found in schools?
Many products in our range offer children the ability to move, wiggle or rock safely. Movement is innate to children with many benefiting from the slight movement some seating provides. This ability to move even slightly while learning, can help expel excess energy and helps encourage positive behaviour and learning outcomes.
The Elizabeth Richards approach is strongly supported by research
Research shows that incorporating a flexible approach to the classroom learning environment and providing flexible furniture solutions, allows students to better focus and process information. This positively affects participation, communication skills and academic achievement, as well as improving the overall well-being and happiness of students.
Flexible classroom furniture brings many benefits to teachers and educators
It gives you the creative freedom to adapt the classroom to suit a wide range of lessons. Lightweight and highly portable, allowing you to easily move from small group work to whole class projects, the Elizabeth Richards flexible seating range makes the learning process fun and accessible to all children.
For a future-focused flexible classroom Elizabeth Richards offers mobile whiteboards and storage trolleys.
Our portable whiteboards and teaching easels have heavy-duty lockable casters, high-quality porcelain whiteboards and some have extra storage.

You can choose your Trolley and Tote Tray sizes, then choose from a wide range of colours to suit your classroom décor.
