About Paragon furniture
WE CREATE INSPIRING FURNITURE FOR LEARNING SPACES
Three simple words that truly set us apart and help answer the question – Why choose Paragon?
REACH: Paragon can effectively furnish about 80% of most schools . We have a comprehensive collection for Classrooms, Makerspaces, Libraries, and Lounges.
RELEVANCE: By integrating industry insights and feedback from educators, our furniture reflects the evolving needs of modern learning spaces.
RIGOR: From concept to completion, we apply the highest standards of quality and durability to every piece of furniture we create.
Through our reach, relevance, & rigor, we create inspiring furniture for learning spaces!
While we can furnish about 80% of most schools, we focus on four main areas:
• CLASSROOM
• MAKERSPACE
• LIBRARY
• LOUNGE
Click on any of those four segments above to be taken to our product pages that show all the furniture we feature for each type of learning space.
Within these environments, we have a comprehensive line of Seating, Desks, Tables, Storage, and Shelving that complement the activity & purpose of each. Our furniture is designed to be collaborative, flexible, multi-use & to support active, hands-on learning while engaging both students and teachers.
THE MARKETPLACE
Our market consists of 3 main channels to which we deliver our message:
• FURNITURE DEALERS / DISTRIBUTORS
Our dealer partners ultimately sell, deliver, & install our furniture to the academic community, & play an integral role in our distribution. We are an open line but only work with the very best dealers who align with our message.
• ARCHITECTS & INTERIOR DESIGNERS
We provide architects and designers with our product symbols, specifications, and collateral so they can utilize Paragon Furniture on projects. Our goal is to partner with A&D on every appropriate opportunity.
• SCHOOLS / ACADEMIC COMMUNITIES
The academic community is who we serve – they are the customer. While we do not sell furniture directly to schools, they are the most important focus in terms of everything Paragon does.
Our furniture can be best described as flexible & functional with superior aesthetic appeal. We exclusively make furniture for educational environments, so every product is engineered & tested to perform above the level necessary for the rigors of daily use in schools. Our products are durable & built to last, but also have specific design elements that beautify the space & provide comfort on a sensory level. A learning space furnished by Paragon will absolutely stand out in appearance & provide many years of unfailing, consistent use.
Even the smallest project requires coordination & far reaching support at every stage. Through our Regional Sales Managers & Account Managers and Specialists, we achieve the results necessary for success.
