Norbury Lounge Chair
This ergonomic design was specifically created for use in mental health units where healing, safety, comfort, and respect for environment are vital to patient recovery.
A stronger healing environment
In 2005, the NHS trust at South Staffordshire and Shropshire Healthcare were awarded a grant that allowed them to refurbish the Norbury Ward – their Intensive Care Mental Health Unit, which had developed a reputation as an uncomfortable place for both patients and caregivers alike. Previously, much of the furniture was plastic – partly due to cost, but also to minimize danger in the event of chairs being thrown at staff members.
