The Healthcare Design Conference & Expo is a premier yearly event focused on the planning, design, and construction of healthcare environments, providing education, networking and product innovation. Its attendees includes architects, interior designers, facility managers, healthcare executives and product manufacturers.
The show marked the first public debut of the Summit Series, alongside the award-winning Sequoia Series and SafeBin.
Designed specifically for behavioral health, the Sequoia™ Series—comprising a molded wood grain bed and nightstand—provides the warmth of woodgrain design for high-impact environments. Built to last and designed for durability, the molded furniture series embraces the natural look of wood with the performance of secure, low-maintenance materials. It’s an optimal solution for behavioral health spaces as well as correctional ones.
The Summit Series—which includes a variety of chairs, a stool, and tables of varying sizes—introduces layered heights that provide aesthetic variety and inclusive design for dining rooms, community spaces and treatment areas. A fresh collection for Behavioral Health environments, Summit is thoughtfully designed to emphasize balance, safety and harmony. It offers a nature-inspired color palette, supporting tranquility and connection throughout the care experience.
And SafeBin is the premier solution for maintaining cleanliness and security—a tamper-resistant, lockable waste management system that prevents access to trash liners and discarded content.
