Sky View Sanctuary Earns New Product Award
The Whitney Brothers® has won the Platinum 2024 spaces4learning New Product Award for its Sky View Sanctuary, an inventive classroom privacy space designed with biophilic elements that simulate day and night skies. This innovative design provides a calming and engaging environment for young learners, aligning with the company’s commitment to enhancing Early Learning interiors. The Sky View Sanctuary not only meets state requirements for dedicated quiet spaces but also complements the Nature View Collection, Whitney Brothers®’s biophilia-inspired furniture line that has garnered multiple international design awards. The award is a significant accolade, marking the company’s fifth consecutive win, a distinction achieved by only a select few in the educational furniture industry.
The spaces4learning New Product Award, now in its ninth year, recognizes exceptional product development in the education market. The 2024 award program honored 20 companies for innovations across various categories, including Building Interiors and Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment. The judges, professionals from industry vendors, associations, and architecture firms, highlighted the importance of products like the Sky View Sanctuary in fostering safe, sustainable, and conducive learning environments.
“We’re especially honored to receive this award because it recognizes the importance of biophilic design to our youngest learners,” said Mike Jablonski, Whitney Brothers® president. “The Sky View Sanctuary is another great example of how our fresh approach to furniture design thoughtfully enriches the classroom environment.”
