Ascent seating series: responding to the unique requirements of healthcare

Our award-winning Ascent modular beam system offers flexible, configurable seating with a host of extra qualities ideal for healthcare environments.

Visitors to hospitals often experience a lot of stress from the vulnerable situation they are in. By creating an atmosphere that is warm, welcoming and relaxed, we can have a positive influence on the overall experience and make the patients feel less stress, less anxiety and more taken care of. And what's even better - the staff experience the same results, with a stronger sense of morale and better feel for their place of work.

H2 THE CHALLENGES OF HOSPITAL WAITING ROOMS

At some point in our lives, all of us will need to visit a hospital or healthcare facility. And one of the most potentially stressful aspects of a hospital visit is the wait.

Typical waiting room environments look and feel cold, sparse, and sterile. Rows of identical linear seating are attached to a central beam all facing the reception desk. Even modern minimalist and ergonomic designs offer little choice as to how seats are used – patients can only talk seated side-by-side, without personal space for privacy. Seats are often placed without context or identity, with each waiting room looking much like any other.

There is little regard for the environmental impact on the body and mind of an ill, vulnerable, or anxious patient.

At Green, we believe that well-designed public furniture and how it’s used can make all the difference to the experience of patients and their families – reducing stress, alleviating boredom, providing security and comfort for those in pain, and contributing to wellbeing and good recovery rates.

We offer a practical and aesthetic solution to hospitals and their staff that meets the official requirements – working alongside architects and healthcare managers as a trusted design partner to find the right choices for each clinical setting.
