THE FOUR DEGREES OF FREEDOM Children learn better when they can keep moving. Active learning should be part of every learning process, as well as in sport and supportive teaching. This makes it important to determine which activities will take place in the school's various areas, as the layout can determine the degree of freedom in the learning environment. As a tool to determine the degree of freedom in the learning environment, we have developed the "four degrees of freedom". We can use this tool in our dialogue and cooperation with you, creating
4
a shared understanding of your interior design requirements. We should align our expectations of the degrees of freedom you require for the school's various learning environments. The "four degrees of freedom" are not limited to arranging the learning environments, but can also be used as a tool to define behaviour throughout the school. This will ensure greater continuity between the activities that are to take place in the school's various areas.
From space to place The framework is defined by the place
PERSONALITIES IN THE FOUR DEGREES OF FREEDOM When working with the four degrees of freedom to design the learning environment, it is important to think of the personalities that spend part of their daily lives at the school. The interior must then be designed to support their personal requirements. At Højer Møbler we work with various different personalities that we seek to accommodate in the development of new furniture, and also throughout the interior design process.

Learning environment In the learning environment, there must be space for active learning methods, working together actively on a task. A learning environment must create security and a sense of affiliation and ownership for each individual.

NOVA SCREEN
is a sound-absorbing screen wall. It helps to ensure a pleasant and comfortable environment. Available in different sizes.
Making optimum use of space Create a flexible environment that gives scope for group work and the pupils' individual requirements. Create zones in the room with screen walls or shelves, e.g. covered with sound-absorbing material that also minimises the noise impact. 9
ZAP is a functional, flexible and movable workstation for differentiated learning environments. ZAP is mounted on the wall rail with a simple handgrip, transforming otherwise passive surfaces into workstations for both pupils and teachers. When ZAP is not in use, the elegant, discreet aluminium rail takes up no space at all, and can also be used for gallery-style exhibitions. Thanks to its unique material, ZAP is water-resistant and incredibly durable, and can also be used for lessons outdoors.
The best position is always the next one ...
Our bodies are not made to sit still, and definitely not for long periods at a time. Variation, flexibility and ergonomics are keywords in our development of furniture for educational institutions. 10

IT and immersion The wall of shelves includes a shelf for laptop computers with a folding writing surface. The exterior can be covered with whiteboard, and the interior with felt in a contrasting colour.
Project work and communication Working at elevated desks encourages various different working positions. Elevated desks on wheels can be supplemented with a central island consisting of multi-shelves on wheels.
VARIATION THAT PUTS LEARNING IN THE CENTRE
SPACE FOR IMMERSION The beanbag is developed especially for use in schools, daycare institutions and after-school clubs. Removable, washable exterior bag, elastic, soundless, antibacterial and with reflective tape. The exterior is water- and dirt-resistant and can be cleaned with a moist cloth.

STEP
is a cohesive unit that can be pulled out or collapsed with a single touch. The steps can also be used individually as desks or benches for pupils.
UP n’ DOWN is another way to create space in a room. With a
smart front, individual solutions can be created to emphasise the atmosphere required in the room.
STORAGE CREA
A playful learning environment
Playing and learning must go hand in hand in the primary school years, with space for creative learning. It is therefore important to have multifunctional furniture that can be used in different contexts, supporting the playful learning environment. 17
Corridors To create more flexibility in teaching, several schools are opening up the classroom doors and placing several functions in corridors and communal areas.

emergency routes with no room for furniture. Floor patterns and boards can be used to break down corridors into smaller spaces using differently coloured areas. Floor areas in different colours can define a space within the space, for play and work.
STUDY BOOTH Focus makes it possible to create a space within a space where pupils can focus that little bit extra. Focus can also be used as a meeting space and for group work in open-plan school environments where there is often a need for furniture to help to define the space and create an exciting and inviting landscape. Available for two or four people.
ELEGANCE BENCH , as the name indicates, has a timeless, elegant design that matches any type of environment. The design idiom is simple, with ten open slots in back and seat.
LAPTOP SHELF
is a practical and elegant way to create an extra workspace. The shelf takes up minimum space as the hatch can be folded up with the computer placed inside the shelf.
In the corridor, we learn about life.
At most schools, corridors are used for group work in teaching, making it a good idea to design them to make optimum use of the space for group work, homework and/or storage. 23
Communal areas Communal areas are the heart of the school, where many activities may be taking place at the same time. It is therefore important to clarify what the room is to be used for. As a centre for physical activities indoors and/or calmer activities such as relaxation and homework?

The school's knowledge centre
A library is often a large room and to create the optimal frames, your starting point should be the functions for which the room will be used, so that the interior design supports the activities in the room. 39
Canteen At many schools, the canteen is only used in the lunch break, and is left empty and unused for the rest of the day. Canteen space can be divided into areas and used for group work, to maximise use of the school's passive space.

CANTEEN TABLE TOPS
furnX has its own unique acoustic table top called MUTE. It reduces clattering noise by 18 dB. The ear experiences a noise reduction by 10dB as a 50% reduction. The table top can be used on all of our rectangular tables.
The heart of the school
This is where pupils can eat, work, do their homework and socialise with their school friends. So it is important that the canteen looks and functions just as the pupils require. 42

Reduce noise levels with MUTE After a long day at school, many pupils and teachers come home not just with new knowledge, but also headaches due to the high noise level in the school. At Højer Møbler we have developed a product to alleviate this problem. In acoustic measurements performed by Delta, our unique MUTE table top has been shown to dampen noise by 18dB compared to ordinary table tops. The ear perceives a reduction of the noise level by 10dB as a 50% reduction. 43
ORION With its simple and stylish design, Orion suits any environment. The aluminium frame gives the chair a very elegant look. The chair's moulded seat follows and supports the contours of the back perfectly, ensuring optimum sitting comfort.
