Awesome chair for education market

Wish we sold these. A great concept. The chair looks good and very functional alone but can also easily be moved for creating a shared workspace.

Selected features of the node chair

1. Casters lend mobility for quick, easy transitions between teaching modes.

2. Swivel seat keeps open sightlines between student and instructor, whiteboard, and other students.

3. Personal worksurface is adjustable, non-handed, and large enough to support digital and analog resources.

4. Base keeps backpacks and valuable personal belongings out of the aisle.

5. Flexible seat, without pneumatic adjustments to worry about, keeps students comfortable in a variety of postures.

6. Open seat design offers easy access, while arms serve as backpack hooks.

7. Comfort without upholstery means easy maintenance.

8. Steelcase warranty with elevated durability testing makes node an easy choice.

International Paper Sizes and Availability (A4, etc)

It may come as a surprise to many that the paper sizes we are all familiar with and use on a daily basis–legal, letter–are not universal. The most widespread international convention is ISO 216, with A4 paper being the most frequently used. The beauty of this standard is that in the A series, each is half the size of the next, measured along the largest dimension, creating a uniformity that is efficient for paper manufacturers and users.

We are often contacted by companies in the US who do extensive international business or by overseas companies with a branch in the US looking for these paper sizes. The good news is that, yes, we do carry them. Here are some of the most popular options:

Hammermill Fore High-quality Multipurpose Paper A4 Size

Southworth 25% Cotton Business Paper A4 Size

Wilson Jones A-4 White Ring Binder

And pens specially designed for writing on A4 paper:

Pilot G2 Retractable Gel Ink Pen

…OK, not really. You can use any pen ;)
