The preferred choice of design professionals
"I am always looking for opportunities to infuse our education design environments with gentle references to nature. The Nature View Collection by Whitney Brothers is charming and well designed, utilizing images of prairie flowers and foliage in combination with natural wood. The secondary color palette with greens and violets is calming instead of the exhausting, overused primary palette so often forced on young learners. The see-though leaf canopy over the "den-like" Nature Reading Haven is a lovely, comforting space. These types of veiled views between spaces add greater depth and layering which is always intriguing. I have not seen anything similar to this unique collection and I will definitely look for future opportunities to specify Whitney Brothers. Biophilic-inspired designs definitely have a place in learning environments today!

"The Nature View Collection is quite an innovative way to bring biophillic aspects into the classroom. The furniture incorporates the right touch of nature to inspire creativity, bring energy into the space, and engage students in their learning environment. I will surely keep Whitney Brothers® top of mind for Early Learning FF&E projects."
