ERGONOMICS AND COMFORT IN

For the first time in the history of furniture
design for the education world, we
bring together all the elements required
to achieve the optimal posture in the
classroom, in one comprehensive product
line.
OPTI+ combines a forward sloping chair with a unique waterfall edge and a
patented student desk with an integrated footrest that provides flexibility and
comfort. OPTI+ is the ideal solution for modern classroom furnishing. “Theeducation world today gradually leaves behind the traditional approach of
sitting in rows, all looking the same way and listening to a teacher in front of
the classroom and has chosen a social environment which is aimed towards
cooperation
“ MORE MOBILITY,
ADAPTABILITY AND
SUSTAINABILITY
Students are now expected to work in groups, to express their ideas and
thoughts and to learn side by side with the teacher. This changing model
creates new requirements for the furniture in the classroom.”

*The OPTI+ Move furniture comes as a set with the OPTI+ Move chair and OPTI+ Move desk
(more information about the OPTI+ Chair collection on page 14 of this brochure).
MOVEMENT
By making it easy to switch to other configurations,
OPTI+ Move gives teachers room for creativity
and the ability to reach students through their
individual learning styles. Because pupil desks in
different shapes and sizes can be combined, OPTI+
Move is a concept that promotes lifelong learning
in a healthy environment. Built-in casters make
OPTI+ furniture easy to move within a classroom.
Integrate the OPTI+ Be in a room
with OPTI+ Move student desks for
an innovative theater-style seating
environment (stadium seating).

OPTI+ offers a forward sloping chair that induces the natural
resting position. The OPTI+ Move has a higher seating position and
allows the thighs to slope down to that natural resting position.
Although the traditional ergonomic approach remains relevant, it
is difficult to maintain this posture for more than 2 minutes.
Balanced seating is easier and allows the spine to the support the
body weight in a more comfortable way , by reducing pressure on
the spinal discs.
BALANCED SEATING WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO MOVE?
Exercise is natural, permanently sitting still is not, and especially
not for students. Important in the classroom are the different
natural movements while sitting, so the students always sit
comfortably and remain attentive for longer. The full OPTI+ seating
line is designed to allow the body to move while sitting. The seating
shell is a unique combination of support and flexibility. Five built-
in flex points allow smooth movements and prevent pinch points
that often occur on hard chairs. The OPTI+ Move series stimulates
movement even more with the Move model. Use the Move model
as a comfortable chair, stretch
your legs or lean your back
on the waterfall edge.

COMFORT & ERGONOMICS
The OPTI+ chair features a spacious seat and an ultra modern tapered waterfall edge that helps increase blood circulation and permits a range of ergonomically
correct positions. The extended waterfall edge induces a natural resting position. The air-filled shell (one piece) acts as an air cushion which makes for comfort, while
the curvature of the lumbar support provides continuous support.

OPTI+ Teach
The OPTI+ Teach table has a raised frame that is available in three
dierent heights, improves the line of sight of the teachers and brings
student and teacher at the same eye level. Being at the same eye
level creates a more comfortable and less intimidating atmosphere,
ideal for collaboration and learning. The height adjusatable footrest
gives the user the lasting comfort of balanced seating.
The additional space needs of the teacher’s role are covered by
the ample table top, which also facilitates personal meetings at the
desk. The OPTI+ Teach desk comes standard with integrated storage
capacity in the shape of a sleek cabinet that can be equipped with
various shelves and drawers, and is ready for technology integration,
with built-in wire management and ventilation*.
*The OPTI+ Move collection is recommended to be used with the OPTI+ Teach.

OPTI+ Chairs
SHELL COLORS
Colour options are distinguished and formal or vibrant and lively, matching the
the interior concept. Some colours have identical shades for the shell and the
frame, creating a ‘unified’ look. Other colour combinations feature a contrast
between the shell and frame.
OPTI+ SIT
The four-legged OPTI+ Sit fits well in many spaces. The elegant blowmolded seat shell offers a high
degree of comfort. The double curved seat allows good blood circulation. The chair can be easily and
neatly arranged in rows. Since the frame can be easily stacked, the OPTI+ Sit is useful when large
numbers must be used at times, but are not always needed. The integrated rear handle enables flexible
usage.
OPTI+ SWING
The OPTI+ shell is much appreciated in learning environments. The refreshing colours and the elegant
design immediately attract attention. After this initial meeting, the dynamic ergonomic qualities and
functional aspects of this shell become clear. In combination with the OPTI+ Swing frame, this chair
offers dynamic ergonomic qualities and serves various functions. Chairs with a different functional
objective can still be combined to form a homogenous whole due to the exchangeable frames.
OPTI+ TURN
The OPTI+ shell is designed around principles of good ergonomics. The shell has five flex points
that allow it to move with the user, fostering dynamic movement. The contour of the shell provides
continuous lumbar support and causes no pinch-points at the back of the thighs. The materials are
durable and easy to maintain.

Poor learning environments are not only the possible cause of physical symptoms, they also hamper the ability to
concentrate and therefore the knowledge assimilation. To prevent this, VANERUM always considers the ergonomics
of a place of learning. For us, the right seating solution, with the right posture, in the right environment is essential.
Not only in our learning environments: we also attach much importance to the ergonomic qualities of our solutions
in our workplaces and in our i3 philosophy. An ergonomic work environment and comfortable sitting posture are
instrumental, they promote your health and foster your productivity. A well designed workplace is also an effective
means to reduce absenteeism.

1STUDENT ZONEToday’s classroom must be comfortable and exible. They need to
easily transform from individual to team congurations. That is why our
wide range of products are both mobile, adjustable, and available with
multiple worksurface shapes and sizes.
2INSTRUCTOR ZONEinstructors provide our children with the skills that will help them
succeed in their future endeavors. Equipping them with tools that are
mobile and integrate technology enables instructors to focus on student
needs.
3SHARED (MEDIA) ZONEWalls are portals to the world of knowledge. Walls must facilitate the
exchange of knowledge between students and teachers, student to
student and teachers to students.
4INFORMAL ZONEBecause learning no longer just takes place in the classroom, other
environments must also be carefully considered. These environments
are enabled so that instructors, students and content can be located in
different, non centralized locations.
www.vanerum.com/i3
The notion that learning is synonymous with knowledge transfer, at a fixed location and a fixed time, has become outdated quite some time ago. The current
paradigms talk about knowledge exchange and construction of knowledge and skills individually or in a group. This view disconnects learning from time and place,
and makes it an ongoing process. That means that the “learning environment” exceeds the classroom, or even the school. We define a modern learning environment
as the overall resources, strategies, people and facilities that create the opportunity to learn. On physical / functional level we divide the learning environment in four
functional zones (Shared Media, Facilitator, Participant, Informal). When these zones are well developed, the result is an interactive, integrated and inspiring place to
learn and work. We call this an i3 learning environment.

i3LIGHTHOUSEi3LIGHTHOUSE not only supports the I.Q. side of learning but the E.Q side as well. Developing strong social and
communication skills at an early age prepares students for a more successful learning path.
Developing a basic familiarity with technology and digital media at a younger age is strongly encouraged by
early childhood theorists and leaders of thought.

SALSA WITH IPAD INTEGRATIONAs an independent designer, Bram Boo designs innovative furniture for micro -and mass production. He breaks the
everyday rules and tries to get new ideas and emotions out of simplicity, functionality and aesthetical value. This
combination creates the possibility to reflrect on our daily habits completely. His designs are purely function and
because of that also esthetically and emotionally surprising.

i3BOARDCompared to traditional intearctive whiteboards,the i3BOARD includes several unique features. Other than
stylus and finger touch recognition, the precise and reliable V-Sense touch technology design allows multiuser
interaction up to 10 simultaneous touches. The ultra-narrow aluminium frame gives the i3BOARD a sleek
appearance and makes maintenance easy, lowering the long term total cost of ownership.
