In recent years, educational centres have been transforming their outdoor spaces into authentic learning environments. Courtyards and open-air areas are no longer just places to pass through or play, but active zones that foster collaboration, creativity and wellbeing.
In this context, furniture plays a key role, as it must not only withstand outdoor conditions, but also adapt to new forms of interaction between students. The Pie modular seat was created to meet this need, bringing design, functionality and flexibility to outdoor educational spaces.
Rethinking outdoor learning spaces and inspiring students
The Pie modular seathas a simple yet highly versatile geometric shape, designed to blend naturally into modern educational environments. Made of high-density polyethylene, it is weather-resistant, easy to clean and lightweight, making it easy to transport and reconfigure.
It is available in three colours, allowing spaces to be customised according to the identity of the centre or the type of activity to be carried out. Its finish adds extra comfort and visual appeal.
Thanks to its modular design, it can be combined in multiple ways: from individual seats to linear or island configurations to encourage group work. It is a perfect solution for both large spaces and smaller corners that need to be activated with functional and contemporary furniture.
Most frequent uses of seating in educational settings
The Pie seat is suitable for a wide range of uses in secondary schools, vocational training centres and universities. Some of its most common uses include:
• Outdoor reading areas
Ideal for creating quiet corners in patios or terraces where students can relax and read in a more informal setting.
• Spaces for conversation or teamwork
Configurations that encourage interaction and collaborative learning.
• Rest areas during break time or between classes
It offers a convenient and hassle-free alternative to traditional banks.
• School events abroad
Whether it’s a talk, an exhibition or a creative workshop, its lightness allows it to be moved and adapted according to the needs of the moment.
