Bringing flexibility to D&T and STEAM spaces.
The Akira™ system comprises of a range of heavy-duty, modular, and mobile furniture systems. Designed to bring flexibility to traditionally inflexible Design & Technology and STEAM, practical learning spaces.
Learning takes a dynamic form when students have the opportunity to practise what they have been taught. No one can predict how education, technology, and teaching modalities will evolve, therefore, Design & Technology learning spaces must have the ability to adapt to whatever changes the future may hold. Akira™ delivers just that!

What skills are your students developing in STEAM?
Pedagogical analysis around the world is filled with a variety of critiques on the balance between the learning of knowledge and the learning of skills. In real terms within our education systems, is it this black and white? Is it one or the other?
The Birth of Akira™
WF Education Group has installed over 12,000 learning spaces over 4 continents. After supplying education resources across the globe for many years, and working with education specialists, we acknowledge just how valuable flexibility can be – to school leaders, teachers, and students! This was the foundation for designing and manufacturing our very own range of furniture for D&T and STEAM education.
Static classrooms and fixed furniture are becoming something of the past. Being able to reconfigure D&T spaces to suit dynamic timetables, gives autonomy to create an environment that will enable students to focus on the lesson at hand (from resistant materials and textiles to robotics/electronics and CAD/CAM suites), allowing them to fully concentrate on projects, themes, and topics being taught. We learned that it is the ability to move your machinery around on the fly which best supports a dynamic STEM-style environment that helps learners to embrace D&T as a creative and innovative subject.
Following an intensive product development process came the birth of Akira™. Built on castors and built to last – the range delivers true flexibility, outstanding quality, and longevity to our customers.
We pride ourselves on the quality and durability of our products – they have been designed and built to last.
Akira™ products are built to withstand frequent use and wear and tear that a busy D&T workshop undergoes year on year. The products have been designed to provide unparalleled rigidity and stability. Akira™ is a sustainable solution – the steel frame’s considerable lifespan, coupled with the replaceable nature of modular components such as panels, worktops, storage, and power units, resulting in a product solution that will stand the test of time under heavy educational usage. The Akira™ range is designed and manufactured in the UK by WF Education Group.
