EMIR is no newcomer to the education sector, having been manufacturing workbenches for schools and colleges since 1946. Over the years the original EMIR bench design has been refined and a range of specialist and multi-functional hardwood benches developed, making the company the UK's leading bench manufacturer, as well as an exporter to some 40 countries world-wide. As educational emphasis switched to design and technology during the 1980s, EMIR took the significant step of introducing the square bench concept to allow for maximum use of floorspace. This innovation has continued with the design of the new E3000, Worktable and Ergo Stool, suitable for most art and craft applications including drawing and writing. The design is the result of the Design Council and DfES funded "Furniture for the Future" project. It is both truly innovative and multifunctional, whilst complementing those environments where both practical and written work is undertaken by students. EMIR are happy to provide specialist advice on our range of benches and cupboards to Advisors or D&T teachers by phone or on site. |
