The latest health care furnishings boast a range of features to handle the many challenges hospitals and other health care facilities throw at them. These include budgetary restrictions, the need for durable and cleanable surfaces, the ability to accommodate new technologies, and demand for creative designs that enhance the experience of patients, visitors and staff.
KI has introduced the WiggleRoom Super Structure, free-standing rooms between 6-by-6 feet and 10-by-10 feet that can be created on demand. It comes with three ceiling options (full, louvered and open) so users can control the amount of acoustic privacy they need. Wall materials can be any combination of glass and solid materials for control of privacy or day lighting. “These structures do not attach to any wall or ceiling, making planning in existing spaces easy,” Webb says.
KI also has introduced the Signia task chair, which features a fully ergonomic design. “It’s ideal for long-term sitting due to ergonomic options and a plush memory foam seat cushion that supports individual posture,” Webb says. “Signia comes in either a mesh or fully upholstered back. Back tension and recline settings fit any posture requirement.”
