t41 - the innovative table system from Isis that includes t41 hub and FlowerPower has been shortlisted for the prestigious FX Design Awards in recognition of its contribution to transformation in teaching and learning.
Borne out of Isis' research into changing patterns of education, t41 (or table-for-one) has already (since its launch in March 2008) been installed in Academies and is being trialled by BSF authorities - part of the Government's multi-billion pound initiative to transform all 3,500 secondary schools throughout the country.
Isis' Head of Design, Phil Fenton, created t41 to satisfy the pedagogical imperatives found, by Isis, to be unsupported in traditional classrooms furnished with forward-facing rows of double tables, whilst t41 hub manages the cables and transformers that remain intrinsic with mobile computing devices.
Winners of the FX Design Awards will be announced at The Grosvenor House Hotel in London in October 2008.
