A new kind of campus seating
The University of Illinois wanted a student space that felt playful and still worked hard. We built custom swing tables that students now use for meals, conversations and study sessions. They give the space a draw that a standard campus bench or picnic table never could.
Built for student traffic
Campus furniture takes constant use, weather and the wear of thousands of students. Every table was made to order in California with weather-resistant Trex composite and powder-coated steel. The frame colors, wood finishes and cushion options were chosen to fit the surrounding campus architecture.
Where swing tables work on campus
This project shows how swing tables fit higher education. They work in:
- campus quads
- dining commons
- student union patios
- outdoor study spaces
- residential courtyards
The 6-Seater and 8-Seater seat a full study group. Our care instructions cover how to look after them outdoors.
