Innovative Makerspace and Classroom Furniture
Located near Hickory, North Carolina, the heart of the furniture belt, Custom Educational Furnishings “CEF” has been hand assembling furniture for over 40 years. At CEF, they take great pride in building quality and affordable makerspace, next gen and technology furniture for the classroom, each thoughtfully designed with both teachers and students in mind.
Brainstorm Workbench and IDEA Island
The Brainstorm Workbench is an awesome addition to your makerspace or any collaborative space where ideas flow! It’s offered in three heights & two lengths, and comes standard with casters for ease of mobility. The Brainstorm Workbench is a basic essential and is a must-have for project based learning! The creation of the IDEA Island was inspired by the many makers in school systems, public libraries and museums across the nation that are dedicated to inspiring creativity. It is offered in the simplest form-table only, or can be dressed up with technology and seating for up to 8 people.
