Award winning Early Learning furniture manufacturer Whitney Brothers has introduced an innovative new indoor reading space that simulates the pleasant experience of sitting underneath a tree canopy and provides a peaceful, inviting quiet space for Early Learners.
Inspired by the trend of bringing the outside into the Early Learning classroom, the Nature Reading Haven and Floor Mat Set features a unique curved acrylic roof imprinted with a photo-realistic underside view of a tree canopy using the company’s exclusive direct-print capability. The curved design of the roof imparts greater strength to the shatterproof acrylic and enhances the visual realism of looking up through the tree canopy.
The cozy interior includes a fitted floor pad, two built-in book display shelves on one side panel, viewing cutouts on the opposite inside panel, and tunnel openings on each end panel that provide easy access and important ‘sight and sound’ supervision of children inside from four sides, including the roof. The Nature Reading Haven also satisfies each state’s requirement for a quiet space in Early Learning classrooms.
“As longstanding furniture specialists for Early Learning environments, we set out to create a unique nature-themed oasis that beckons young children inside and promotes quiet reading while providing easy visibility for adult supervision,” said Mike Jablonski, president of Whitney Brothers®. “Our Nature Reading Haven Set supports that concept with all the design originality and innovation that the Whitney Brothers® brand is renowned for.”
MSRP for the WB2190 Nature Reading Haven and Floor Mat Set is $789.
Availability is immediate.
