Lyndon Furniture has a long history of providing quality, durable and attractive furnishings for educational facilities. At the forefront of this product line is the Harkness table. Lyndon is the exclusive manufacturer of this unique classroom table that is the centerpiece of a teaching method developed at Phillips Exeter Academy in 1931.

Lyndon has provided these tables for some of the most prestigious schools and universities in the country, such as Phillips-Exeter, St.Marks School of Texas and The Masters School in New York. We have also provided tables for schools in Canada, Great Britain, Japan and Bermuda.

Our tables are designed in various configurations to seat up to 20 students. Each student has an optional pull-out at their seat which allows them to turn their chair to ensure privacy at testing times.

The tables can accommodate any type of audio-visual components that you require.

Below is an example of the many testimonials to the
Harkness table:

“Harkness Tables originated at Exeter in 1931 when philanthropist Edward Harkness challenged the Exeter faculty to create an innovative way of teaching. The purpose of the Harkness Table was to make class more involving. The 1930s faculty also understood that Harkness Tables would make being smart more fun. They knew that discussing even your least favorite subject around the Harkness Table would make that subject more interesting. But did they know that the Harkness Table would teach students to collaborate rather than compete with each other inside and outside class? And did they know that it would make the whole community respect one another’s ideas and become a safer place to learn and live?”

In addition to the Harkness table, Lyndon also can provide quality dormitory, faculty office, student and faculty lounge furnishings and products for any other educational application. We will work with you to design custom products as required.

All of our products are manufactured in northern Vermont of select hardwoods. We are able and willing to meet all LEED requirements as outlined by the United States Green Building Council in any new construction or renovation. We have the capability to take on large projects, but the flexibility to provide one of a kind pieces.
