Session Series
The Sessions Collection was designed around a simple idea: build furniture that performs exceptionally well outdoors while looking equally at home indoors.
Every product combines modern design with commercial-grade materials selected for durability, low maintenance, and long-term value. Whether you’re furnishing a school courtyard, library, museum, healthcare campus, or community park, Session’s furniture is built to handle heavy use while creating inviting places where people can gather, learn, and connect.
Splash Series
Like virtually all outdoor furniture materials, polyethylene seating surfaces will become warm or hot when exposed to direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day. The exact surface temperature depends on factors such as air temperature, sun angle, product color, and the amount of direct sun exposure.
Fortunately, there are several ways to keep seating comfortable.
Many schools, parks, libraries, and community spaces incorporate shade structures, mature trees, pergolas, or umbrellas to provide relief from direct sunlight while creating more inviting outdoor gathering areas.
For customers looking for even greater comfort, Tenjam offers two solutions:
Soft Touch™
Available on many of our flat-top seating products, Soft Touch™ is a thin layer of marine-grade EVA foam permanently bonded to the seating surface.
Soft Touch helps insulate users from the polyethylene beneath, significantly reducing perceived surface temperature in direct sunlight while adding a softer, more comfortable seating experience.
Additional benefits include:
- Reduced heat transfer from sun-exposed surfaces
- Comfortable, cushioned feel
- UV stable for long-term outdoor performance
- Waterproof and mold- and mildew-resistant
- Easy to clean
- Added slip resistance when wet
- Attractive, premium appearance
- Optional laser-engraved logos for schools, municipalities, and organizations
Rad Pad™
For even greater versatility, Tenjam offers the Rad Pad™, a portable EVA foam seat cushion that can be used anywhere people gather.
Rad Pad provides a comfortable barrier between the user and hot, cold, wet, or dirty surfaces, making it ideal for outdoor classrooms, athletic fields, parks, amphitheaters, playgrounds, and community events.
People commonly use Rad Pad on:
- Artificial turf
- Concrete seating walls
- Metal or wooden benches
- Grass
- Wet surfaces
- Logs and natural seating areas
- Bleachers
Because it’s lightweight and easy to carry, Rad Pad gives users the flexibility to create a comfortable seat almost anywhere.
At Tenjam, we believe outdoor spaces should be enjoyable in every season. That’s why we continue developing products and accessories that improve comfort while maintaining the durability and low maintenance the Sessions Collection is known for.
Product Question
- Commercial-grade durability built for years of daily use
- Easy-to-clean, non-porous surfaces that support healthy environments
- No rust, rot, splinters, or peeling finishes
- Modern designs that look just as appropriate indoors as they do outdoors
- Minimal maintenance and a long service life, helping reduce total ownership costs
Schools, libraries, museums, and other public spaces experience thousands of uses every week. Furniture designed for residential use simply isn’t built for that level of daily wear.
The Sessions Collection is engineered specifically for high-traffic environments. Our rotomolded polyethylene furniture resists dents, chips, moisture, and UV exposure, while our aluminum-framed products offer outstanding corrosion resistance. The result is furniture that maintains its appearance and performance for years with very little maintenance.
Absolutely. That’s one of the biggest reasons customers choose Sessions.
Every Sessions product is designed to perform outdoors in demanding weather conditions, yet more than half of our furniture is installed indoors. Schools, libraries, museums, children’s healthcare facilities, and community centers appreciate having furniture that’s incredibly durable, easy to clean, and attractive enough for interior spaces.
If furniture can thrive outside year-round, it’s more than capable of handling the demands of busy indoor environments.
Quality commercial furniture is a long-term investment.
Session’s furniture is manufactured from durable materials including rotomolded polyethylene, corrosion-resistant aluminum, and HDPE surfaces that won’t rot, rust, or require repainting. Unlike many traditional materials, our products are designed to maintain their appearance and structural integrity through years of daily use.
While every environment is different, institutions choose Sessions because they expect decades of dependable performance – not just a few years. Tenjam products range in warranty terms from 1-10 years. See our warranty terms or contact us for guidance on specifying Tenjam products for your projects.
No. Low maintenance is one of the biggest advantages of the Sessions Collection.
Unlike painted steel, wood, or composite materials that may require refinishing or repairs over time, our furniture simply needs occasional cleaning with mild soap and water or standard institutional cleaning products. You can even power wash most Tenjam products.
There’s no repainting, no wood to stain, and no rust to worry about.
Rotomolded polyethylene is one of the most durable materials available for commercial furniture.
It won’t rust like steel, rot like wood, or splinter over time. It also resists moisture, impact, UV exposure, and everyday abuse common in schools and public spaces.
That’s why we use it throughout the Sessions Collection – because it delivers exceptional durability while remaining comfortable, attractive, and virtually maintenance free.
Yes.
Outdoor learning spaces have become an important extension of today’s schools. Session’s furniture is designed to withstand sun, rain, temperature changes, and heavy daily use while providing comfortable seating for students and educators.
Our modular seating, tables, benches, and picnic tables help create inviting outdoor classrooms that encourage collaboration and support our belief that Fresh Air Fuels Fresh Thinking™.
Contact us if you’re wanting to activate your under-utilized outdoor spaces around your facility. We can help guide you on product selection and even give you tips on how to make the space comfortable and utilized even during your hottest and coldest times of the year – in any geographic location.
Session’s furniture is used anywhere people gather to learn, collaborate, or connect.

- K-12 schools
- Colleges and universities

Because our furniture is engineered for demanding environments, it’s equally at home indoors or outdoors.
Yes.
We offer a variety of colors, layouts, and furniture configurations to complement your space and support your goals.
Whether you’re furnishing a school courtyard, library commons, museum plaza, children’s hospital, or community gathering space, our team can help you select products that fit your vision while maintaining the durability and low maintenance the Sessions Collection is known for.
Very easy.
The smooth, non-porous surfaces resist moisture and are simple to wipe down using common institutional cleaning products. Most products can even be power-washed. See our cleaning guide or contact us for cleaning recommendations per product and per material.
This makes Session’s furniture especially popular in schools, libraries, museums, and healthcare environments where cleanliness, sanitation, and appearance are important.
Most facility managers would say yes.
Modular furniture allows spaces to evolve as needs change. Instead of renovating or replacing built-in furnishings, you can easily rearrange furniture for different activities, class sizes, or community events.
Combined with the long service life and minimal maintenance of the Sessions Collection, modular furniture often provides a lower total cost of ownership over time while giving organizations greater flexibility.
Great public spaces are designed so everyone feels welcome.
Many Sessions products can be incorporated into accessible layouts that provide comfortable seating options, clear circulation paths, and flexible gathering spaces for people of varying ages and abilities. Our team is happy to help designers and facility planners select furniture that supports ADA-compliant site designs and inclusive environments.
Yes. Many of the Session’s products offer a “Weight Cap” option that adds a large screw plug to the bottom of the product, allowing for pea-gravel to be installed into the product core for added weight. Some products also have ground anchoring plates that allow for fastening the products to the ground surfaces.
Weighting (a.k.a. ballasting) products can be useful to deter theft, reduce product movement, and meet building codes for balcony elevated, and rooftop installations. Please contact us if you would like to learn more about adding weight or ground anchoring.
