2022 NIGHTINGALE AWARDS WINNER PROFILE: WIELAND HEALTHCARE THE SOUL COLLECTION Innovation Award in Seating: Patient Our design team has come up with a solution that focuses on improving patient outcomes by getting the family closer to the bed, without sacrificing valuable floor space. Our new Soul Collection offers a modern, slim aesthetic in a nod to hospitality, inviting the user to feel comfortable and at home. An innovative folding mechanism captures two additional inches of sleep surface, providing a slimmer overall depth that fits better in most family zone alcoves. Tall legs with an open base allow daylight from floor-to-ceiling windows to pour into the patient room. The slim, modern curved arm style is repeated in subtle ways throughout the design and disguises the sleep sofa as a light, airy lounge piece.
