of activities, such as sleeping, socializing, and
working, by integrating amenities like built-in
light sources, power outlets, coat hooks, and cubbies for personal items. Even highly specialized

While the aesthetics of healthcare seating are increasingly influenced by other design sectors,
these products must still meet stringent safety
and durability requirements established by
clients and organizations such as the Business
and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers
Association (BIFMA) and sustainability certification programs that govern dimensions, durability, and cleanability, among other factors.

factor in meeting healthcare clients' lifecycle
budgets and goals that often demand warranty
periods from 10 to 12 years or longer. Intensive
testing and prototyping ensure that products
meet these criteria. Sorel says he's seen a rise
in the use of steel and aluminum for seating
frames, which are durable and cost-effective
options.
More healthcare seating products also incorporate solid surfaces, which can be costlier
but are aesthetically appealing and stand up
well to harsh chemical cleaners. Sorel points

the first features to show wear and tear, so he

to better support family
