“Recliners are typically designed to fit the context of the patient room, which is hard, shiny, and clinical-everything that we human beings aren’t. So, we used a lot of soft curves. We’re made of curves, nature’s made of curves, and curves help healing. It’s about establishing a nonverbal communication between the person and the object. TheEllie Recliner becomes something you aspire to be in,” saidVonRobinson,thedesignerbehind theEllieRecliner.
The Ellie Reclinerfeatures gentle curves and a non-medical aesthetic, inviting engagement anddelivering comfort for patients, care partners, and clinicians. This thoughtfully designed recliner supports the holistic needs of everyone in the healthcare setting, nurturing both physical and emotionalwell-being.
