We support childcare centers, early learning programs, pre-kindergarten classes, transitional kindergarten rooms, elementary, middle, and high school classrooms with our school furniture, as well as libraries and common spaces.

Natural Pod was founded by Bridgitte Alomes, a mother who sought a better solution for her children amidst the toxic world of children’s toys. The company’s offerings evolved into intentionally designed, multi-functional, natural wood school furniture for classrooms and common spaces. With Natural Pod, you choose a vision of education that prioritizes the well-being of your students, the health of the planet + the future of learning. We are disruptors of the best kind. We care about using business as a force for good.

The Natural Pod School Furniture Difference

Our goal is to create the most accessible, equitable, freeing, safe, and sustainable learning spaces. We do this by design. From natural wood materials that smell and feel like an evergreen forest, to the rounded edges and organic curves that bring the outside in, Natural Pod’s sturdy school furniture elements withstand generations of creative, bold play. In fact, our solutions last a lifetime, because they should. We do all of this, because it matters.
