"This product marries Xorel, the world's
first bio-based high-performance fabric, with
an acoustic or tackable core option. It can quiet
a space while also offering a whimsical pin-up
feature wall. There are an array of geometric
shapes and sizes to add depth and dimension."

"The Hush chair is a throwback to the traditional wingback that
lends a hospitality look and feel to any healthcare space. The high
wing style provides patients and guests some much needed comfort
as well as a sense of privacy. The upholstery is available with in twotone option to create a more unique aesthetic."

"When selecting upholstery for healthcare
environments, durability and maintenance are
always a concern. Momentum Group's Endurance
PVC-free polyurethane collection was developed
with a molecular structure that boasts one million
double rubs, comes in 36 colorways, and offers
a 10-year warranty. It is my new go-to upholstery."

"The Empath chair offers an elegant design for infusions and longer
treatments. Designed by Steelcase, it provides patients with firstclass comfort to aid recovery."

"Mohawk Group's Serenity collection has an
ethereal feel with striated painterly patterning that
vaguely references wood in a modern way without
trying too hard. It's environmentally friendly and
very durable."

"Combining an all-purpose table with an integrated
wall system, Intent offers a versatile solution
for the exam room that removes the usual barriers
between doctor and patient. The collection can
be adjusted to user needs and takes up little space."

"Misterium from Grifols is a completely designed
and engineered cleanroom system that includes
coordinated supporting MEP infrastructure
and structural systems. These types of rooms,
which reflect Grifols's knowledge and quality
control, are highly specialized and come
as a prefabricated product."

"Digital technologies have created many
opportunities in healthcare design, and the
Alta digital check-in kiosk allows patients to selfregister, enabling healthcare providers to be more
efficient. It helps to reduce staffing and square
footage needs for registration desks and waiting
areas, and can cut wait times as well."

"The custom-designed Method headwall system from Modular
Services delivers medical gases and electrical services to the patient
environment. It offers increased design flexibility and has integrated
tracks and channels for equipment management."
