A Wave Chair Without the Mesh? Yes, You Can Get an Upholstered Back Cushion.
I’ve written before about the amazing Wave Chair from University Loft Company. You know, it’s that ultra-versatile 3-in-1 chair that’s taking college and university dorm rooms by storm. Why do we say it’s 3-in-1? Because University Loft’s Wave Chair is part study chair, part gaming rocker, and part laptop/notebook workstation. (See, I told ya it [...]
Out of Thin Air: University Loft Finds a New Way to Help You Be More Productive Without Taking Up Space
University Loft Company is no slacker when it comes to space utilization. After all, the company was founded more than a quarter century ago after James Jannetides was inspired to create space in his college dorm room by lofting his bed. Today, Jannetides and University Loft Company serve more than 1,200 college and university clients [...]

Want the IKEA Effect Without Having to Build Your Own Furniture? Get University Loft in Your Dorm Room.
Have you heard about the IKEA Effect? According to Tulane University marketing professor Daniel Mochon, Michael Norton of Harvard and Dan Ariely of Duke, the IKEA Effect occurs when you attach more value to, and affection for, something you created…like furniture. For example, assemble an IKEA bookcase yourself and you’ll think it’s great. But is [...]
University Loft is Built on Innovation the Shark Tank “Sharks” Might Love
I love the TV Show “Shark Tank”. You know, the one where entrepreneurs and inventors hawk their ideas, products and businesses to the “Sharks”, those self-made millionaires who judge, advise, belittle and sometimes put their money behind the innovators. And whenever I watch the show, I am reminded of the original and continuing innovation of [...]
The Art and Science of College Dorm Room Furniture
Beyond keeping you all informed about University Loft and their amazing solid wood dorm and residence life furniture, I’m a pretty creative guy in other ways. I do graphic design, I’ve designed and built two homes, and remodeled two others. Now I’m taking up painting. The artistic kind, that is. Because I have a healthy [...]

It can be a useful exercise [...]

Since that significantly pre-dates the printing press, [...]
