Whitney Brothers Sky View Sanctuary (WHT-WB1213)

Introducing the Sky View Sanctuary, an inventive interpretation of a classroom privacy space for young learners featuring vivid day and night sky scenes that transport the viewer outside under the open sky.

Under the open sky! The graceful curved openings invite children inside the cozy interior where the brilliant day and night skies create a calm, comforting personal space to relax, read, reflect or recharge away from the bustle of a busy classroom. The interior includes built-in back rests, a floor pad and space for two children and one adult. The exterior has three cascading fixed shelves on one side and two adjustable shelves on the other side for plenty of flexible book storage and display options. For safety, the wide openings and transparent sky panels provide important visibility of children inside from all four sides.

The Sky View Sanctuary can be the focal point in an Early Learning classroom. Graceful curved side openings invite children inside the cozy interior where the brilliant day and night skies create a calm, comforting personal space to relax, read, reflect or recharge away from the bustle of a busy classroom.

The interior includes two built-in back rests, a fitted floor pad and ample space for up to one adult and two children. On the exterior, three cascading fixed shelves on one side and two adjustable shelves on the other provide plenty of flexible storage and display options for books, toys, manipulatives or other classroom essentials. The wide side openings and transparent sky panels provide visibility of children inside from all four sides at any angle, an important safety consideration.

The Sky View Sanctuary also satisfies every state requirement for a dedicated quiet space in Early Learning environments and coordinates with all other pieces in the company’s Nature View Collection, the world's first biophilia-inspired furniture line for Early Learning interiors and recipient of several design awards from Interior Design and Spaces4Learning magazines.

Scientific studies support that biophilic design can reduce stress, enhance creativity, focus clarity of thought and improve well-being, important health benefits that can foster a young child's deep connection to their learning environment and set a positive trajectory for future learning outcomes.
