No other place may be as important for healing than the patient’s or client’s own room. Not only as a place for privacy, but also as a representation of who you are and how you are seen. A caring interior design with comfortable and well designed furniture is just as important in care environments as work environments, if not even more so.

Curtains and choice of fabric add color, warmth and improved acoustics to a patient room. We do our best to find solutions for interior architects and facilities where the self harm preventive and suicide resistant curtain rail is one answer to several requests for innovative interior products.

The long desired en suite bathroom which most importantly provides patient autonomy can create an increased risk of self-harm and suicide attempts. Partly because the private bathroom may not be supervised, partly because functions such as mirror, shower heads or hooks may be designed with ligature points, or be used for self-harm. Ligature points are places, e.g. a hook, where a string or similar can be attached and then be used for self-harm or suicide attempts.

Despite the high-risk environment, bathroom products can be designed with features that avoid ligature points, so called anti-ligature products. Design combined with a meticulous choice of materials and thorough testing is key to obtain a safer environment. There is really no need to reduce the interior to a minimum number of functions to avoid risk, as many facilities feel forced to do

A living room or lounge is at its best a positive social space where both patients/clients and staff interact to promote well-being and care. A couple of armchairs with small side tables can create zones of privacy, where the level of social interaction can be moderated. Larger zones with a mix of sofas and armchairs can foster social interaction. Clear sight lines can be obtained by interior design with low furniture and open seating arrangements.

Our range of robust, safe and well-designed furniture provide a respectful, caring and well-functioning interior over time. Specifically designed for challenging environments they offer several smart and durable qualities that most furniture for public space lack. Our products contribute to a safe healing environment by sending the message that all people in care environments are equally important.
