Willow™ brings a welcoming form and thoughtful detailing in a light-scaled seating series for healthcare spaces. An extensive range of models, finishes and upholstery options support modular and stand-alone applications. Designed in collaboration with healthcare professionals, Willow is a recipient of a Nightingale Gold Award for design excellence.
Design
Willow is an inclusive seating series designed to accommodate a diverse community of people.
Willow seating models are available with a grip assist arm specifically developed for healthcare. The ergonomically contoured shape of the extended armcap is easy to grasp and assists the patient with getting in and out of the chair safely. A waterfall arm is also available for staff areas and low-risk patient areas.
Design
Housekeeping protocols and infection prevention control were priority considerations in the design process.
Willow is designed to respect housekeeping time frames and workloads, minimizing catch points and assemblies that collect debris over time. Willow’s smooth, continuous surfaces can be wiped clean and sanitized in a continuous motion and quickly. The materiality was also selected to withstand aggressive cleaning compounds without deterioration or discoloration.
Models
Willow is a family of arm and armless models in standard or bariatric seat widths.
Upholstered models offer sealed seams and a moisture barrier on the seat. Ganging brackets and linking tables support a wide range of modular layouts. Power and USB charging options are available at or below table height. Unupholstered four-leg armchairs stack 6 high on the floor, 10 high on the dolly.
Models
Upholstery options support performance and housekeeping requirements.
Willow can be partially or fully upholstered with optional sealed seams on the back and a moisture barrier on the seat. Mix and match with unupholstered seats and backs in a wide range of colors for high-traffic applications where additional durability is required. Chairs with glides are warranted to 400lbs.
Models
Hip chairs and bariatric models are essential to a seating series for healthcare.
The Willow hip chair is designed with an elevated seat height and an integrated foot rail for added safety and comfort. A reduced seat slope allows for easier movement in and out of the chair. The bariatric model is rated and warranted for up to 600 lbs. and also serves as a parent and child chair in pediatric settings.

Willow is a feature-rich seating series that supports the varied needs of people in care.
