CONCEPT STATEMENT

PROJECT IMAGERY

COTTON COMFORT’S DESIGN IS INSPIRED BY 1960S SUBURBIA. COTTON COMFORT WILL SERVE AS A SIMPLE OASIS AWAY FROM THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE FOR RESIDENTS TO RELAX WITH ELEMENTS LIKE WOOD PANELING, SHARP SIMPLE LINES, LUSH GREENERY INSIDE AND OUT, MUTED COLORS, AND MORE. KNOWING THE RESIDENTS HAVE LIVED THROUGH THIS TIME, THE DESIGN WILL BE MODERNIZED BY NOT MAKING THE INTERIORS TOO BRIGHT OR OUTDATED, WHILE KEEPING IN MIND TO NOT HAVE TOO HARSH OF CONTRACTS IN COLORS, TEXTURE, OR LIGHTING, AND TO CHOOSE MATERIALS AND FINISHES THAT ARE SLIPRESISTANT AND EASY TO NAVIGATE. KEEPING THINGS SIMPLE FOR THE RESIDENTS BUT STAYING IN THE WHEELHOUSE TO ENSURE THE RESIDENTS FEEL AT HOME. NATURE IS IMPORTANT FOR WELL-BEING AND HEALING, SO VIEWS OF NATURE AND NATURE-LIKE ELEMENTS WILL BE ADDED THROUGHOUT THE DESIGN AS WELL. THE RESIDENTS WILL FEEL THE NOSTALGIA HERE AT COTTON COMFORT.

WALL UNIT

Inspiration was taken from this piece

Made in Denmark, 1953.

Cado Royal Wall Unit in Teak

Designer: Poul Cadovius, 1911-2011

Born just outside of Copenhagen in 1911, Cadovius began manufacturing window treatments in the 1940s with his partner, Hother Brenner. He soon turned his focus from Venetian blinds to furniture, finding success designing svelte pieces in teak, a richly colored hardwood favored by the Danish mid-century modernists.

Most famous for his modular floating shelving system, Cadovius founded the furniture manufacturer Royal System with his designs, and in 1948 he produced the Royal System shelving unit a space-saving solution that underscored Cados penchant for problem-solving in a multifunctional way. Rather than balancing shelves on wooden or metal legs, it held them to the wall with brackets The Royal System proved to be especially popular and early models continue to be in demand. In 2018 this piece celebrated its 70th anniversary.

WHYISTHISIMPORTANT?

Having integrated wall units in each apartment is important for the resident's individuality Most of the time in assisted living there are spaces for residents to customize to make the space their own besides the residents belongings Having this wall unit in each apartment creates one less this that the resident does not have to worry about. Many of these residents have a lifetime collection of belongings and having a designated space for these belongings can help with the transition to assisted living.
