Saint Mark's Episcopal School partnered with Formaspace and JC White Architects to transform its Center for Science into a flexible, hands-on learning environment designed to support collaboration, discovery, and student engagement. Modular RGX casework, custom laboratory islands with integrated sinks and built-in storage, and adaptable cabinetry create a classroom that can evolve alongside changing curricula and teaching methods. Designed to maximize both instruction and organization, each laboratory island provides generous work surfaces for group activities while incorporating integrated sinks and under-counter storage. Keeping frequently used classroom supplies within the islands reduces the need for additional wall-mounted cabinetry, helping maintain open sightlines while creating a more efficient, organized learning environment. Perimeter cabinetry, open shelving, and drying racks provide additional storage for equipment and teaching materials. Built for long-term durability, the flexible design supports collaborative STEM education today and can easily adapt to future instructional needs. Key Features

• Modular RGX laboratory casework
• Custom laboratory islands with integrated sinks and under-counter storage
• Durable epoxy resin work surfaces
• Perimeter cabinetry with secure storage
• Open shelving for classroom supplies
• Wall-mounted drying racks for laboratory glassware
• Flexible layout for collaborative STEM learning

Formaspace furnished multiple technical work environments within a San Francisco applied innovation lab designed to support collaborative research, rapid prototyping, and product development. The facility brings together engineering, fabrication, and innovation teams in flexible spaces built for hands-on experimentation and technical collaboration. Our scope focused on custom furniture for specialized work areas, including electronics labs, metrology stations, fabrication shops, maker spaces, clean assembly areas, and engineering workstations. Formaspace supplied heavy-duty steel workbenches, custom maple butcher block benches, ESD workstations, mobile project tables, storage systems, and specialized fabrication furniture tailored to each team's workflow. The result is a collection of adaptable technical workspaces that support innovation from concept development through prototyping, testing, fabrication, and collaborative engineering while maintaining the flexibility needed for evolving technologies and multidisciplinary teams.

Working with Tangram Interiors, Formaspace furnished engineering and product testing laboratories for Belkin's global headquarters in Southern California. The project called for flexible, ESD-safe workstations that support every stage of product development, from electronics assembly and prototyping to validation and quality assurance. The installation includes custom height-adjustable and fixed-height workbenches equipped with ESD worksurfaces, integrated power distribution, overhead LED lighting, shelving, cable management, and grounding systems. Modular workstation configurations allow engineers to adapt their workspaces as projects evolve while maintaining organized, efficient workflows. Designed for high-performance electronics testing, the laboratory furniture provides the durability, flexibility, and ergonomic features needed to support Belkin's engineering teams as they develop, test, and refine innovative consumer technology products. Working alongside Tangram Interiors, Formaspace delivered a laboratory environment built to meet the demands of modern product development.

Designed for a confidential technology client in San Francisco, this workplace demonstrates how adaptable furniture can support the changing needs of a modern open office. Working with One Workplace and Parabola Architecture, Formaspace manufactured custom workstation solutions that complemented the project's flexible planning strategy while preserving the industrial character of the renovated building. The project features Weldmarx sit-to-stand desks customized with exposed welded frames, integrated power and data, and mobile casters that allow teams to easily reconfigure their workspace. Modified Basix workstations were also developed to create L-shaped desk layouts, providing additional work surface and storage while maintaining the clean, open aesthetic throughout the office. Rather than relying on fixed furniture layouts, the workstation design supports a workplace that can evolve over time as teams grow and projects change. Every detail was developed to balance flexibility, ergonomics, and durability without compromising the architectural vision. Projects like this show how standard product platforms can be thoughtfully modified to create workplace solutions that feel unique to each client while remaining practical to manufacture and reconfigure.

Thaden School in Bentonville, Arkansas, is known for its innovative campus and hands-on approach to education, where architecture and learning work together to create inspiring spaces for students. As part of this award-winning project, Formaspace designed and manufactured a collection of multipurpose tables for classrooms and collaborative learning areas that complement the school's warm industrial aesthetic. Available in multiple sizes and heights, the tables support a variety of teaching styles, from individual instruction to group collaboration and informal gathering. Each table features a welded steel frame finished in Steel Gray Pearlescent with a butcher block worksurface, creating a durable solution that fits naturally within the campus's architectural language. Modified frame geometry, including repositioned stretchers and diagonal support braces, provides an open feel while maintaining the strength required for everyday educational use. Throughout the campus, these tables encourage students to gather, collaborate, and learn in spaces that extend beyond the traditional classroom. Projects like this demonstrate how thoughtfully designed furniture becomes part of the learning environment, supporting flexibility, collaboration, and the architectural vision of the space.
