How does a manufacturer of heating and lavatory systems and water fountains for one-room schoolhouses evolve into an innovative manufacturer offering a broad range of school furniture and products for the daycare/pre-kindergarten, education and college markets?
Our history offers insight
At Smith System, we've always maintained a close connection with educators. This connection allows us to better understand the changing needs of educators and students. It allows us to be pro-active innovators rather than merely responsive.
Want an example? We were one of the first furniture manufacturers to recognize and address the impact of personal computers and the information superhighway on today's schools. But the payoff is much bigger than bragging rights. Educators now can choose from one of the broadest lines of classroom computer and school furniture available.
More choices mean a better chance of you getting the furniture that best meets the needs of you and your students.
Classrooms evolve, Smith System furniture evolves
The computer revolution wasn't the end of our innovation. Innovation continues with our development of team learning furniture. Again, our sensitivity to the changing currents in education, gave us a head start in this growing discipline.
More than functionality
By understanding you better, we can build better value into your furniture. By taking into account how the furniture is used, and sometimes misused, we can build in more durability and less maintenance into it.

Half-Moon Activity Table The Half-Moon shape facilitates hands-on teaching with small groups of students. When placed back-to-back, a full circle is created for larger group work.
