Talking furniture

Whilst we are talking furniture and fittings, since that is one of the things the d.school experiments with so well, think of this as the beginning of an occasional series on re-thinking the kit. I have written elsewhere about my problem with resorting to beanbags and primary colours to 'signal' that innovative learning is taking place - rather than really understanding what processes and practices underpin that learning (and designing for that).

So, what does it mean to relate to a computer, standing up?
