Though it may seem strange to say so, I wish I had one of KI’s 360 Degree Round Student Desks in my home office. The wish doesn’t just illustrate my occasional envy for the life of your average college student, but my admiration for this pragmatic, functional, and long-lived furnishing.

The KI 360 Degree Round Student Desk is highly functional and perfectly comfy

The combination of precise ergonomics and excellent mobility is unusual in a contract environment, let alone in an educational venue.  But KI’s Round Student Desk boasts this complete package. As the name might suggest, the 360 Degree Student Desk begins with this fundamental concept of complete maneuverability.

Students lucky enough to encounter KI’s 360 Degree Line will not only find the ability to spin in a perfectly seamless circle, but also a height and depth adjustable seat, a set of self-locking rollers, an automatic seat return function, and optional book racks or boxes.

The 360 degree rotation is fun, to be sure, for what self-respecting 17 to 21 year old doesn’t want to sit and spin? But the concept has a highly pragmatic component as well: the 360 line is designed with the ergonomic needs of students in mind, as every warm body in the lecture hall can easily rotate to be directly in line with the professor—no more craned necks, no stooping shoulders, no excuses for not hearing or seeing the entire lecture.

Winner of the Best of NeoCon Gold Award, the 360 Degree Round Student Desk is durable, innovative, and adaptable. It conforms to the demands of any classroom environment—the conventional lecture hall, the collaborative workshop, even the individual study enclave.

The Ki 360 Degree Round Student Desk is available in multiple finish options—choose from 20 different frame colors and six different shades of tabletop laminates.
