Our Story

We’re Paragon. Problem solvers, thinkers, designers and engineers. And every day, we teach furniture a lesson.

A lesson in what happens when you outfit an entire school with eco-friendly furniture that helps teachers and learners get more out of their day. Intuitive desks. Chairs that smile. Waving shelves. Carrels that sing.
All working together to enhance learning.
