Children’s furniture solutions company Whitney Brothers recently introduced a new product that combines a play house cube and a light table. The Superbright LED Creative Cube features an LED light table mounted onto a play house cube, the underside printed with a forest canopy scene that ties into the brand’s biophilia-styled Nature View Collection.

According to a news release, the table itself features a new LED lighting system, a 30.5”-tall play surface, a power cord with an on/off switch, and UL listing to use in both Canada and the U.S. The cube’s green vinyl floor meets state requirements for quiet spaces in Early Learning environments. The product is intended to help save space in classrooms by combining two popular products found in many Early Learning facilities.

“Our resolute goal is to design educational furniture that helps foster a child’s engagement to their learning environment,” said Mike Jablonski, president of Whitney Brothers. “The Superbright LED Creative Cube will delight and inspire children to learn, explore, discover and play, and we feel the product elegantly illustrates the fresh design thinking that distinguishes our brand.”

According to the news release, the Superbright LED Creative Cube coordinates with other pieces from the company’s Nature View Collection. The biophilic design aims to help reduce students’ stress, enhance creativity and give them the ability to focus clearly. The collection features more than 35 separate furniture pieces that have won various product-design awards.

  • Designing for Every Mind

    Learning environments have the power to shape not just what students know, but who they become. When a school is designed with genuine empathy—for the full range of ways students think, sense, and engage with the world—it becomes more than a building. It becomes a catalyst for growth, confidence, and belonging. That is the animating idea behind neurodiverse design, and it is one that is transforming how more architects and designers are thinking about school design.

  • Year-Round Schools Require Year-Round Indoor Air Quality Planning

    While many schools are out for the summer, year-round schools follow a more “balanced” schedule with shorter, more frequent breaks spaced throughout the school year. Even though this offers educational benefits, these facilities have less downtime for building maintenance. This can become an issue when facilities managers overlook the importance of routine HVAC maintenance and air duct cleaning services.
