De Healing sofa in Meander Medisch Centrum

designed by atelier PRO architekten manufactured by Keijsers

Sleeping in a hospital is not the same as sleeping at home. Especially after surgery or long term illness. To have someone around you whom you can trust is comforting to the patient. For this purpose atelier PRO designed a multifunctional Healing Sofa. This roomingin piece of furniture is unique in the Netherlands and has been developed in collaboration with the Meander Medical Centre. It is one of the first multi-functional pieces of furniture for professional care institutions. The Healing Sofa has combined functions of a writing desk, guest bed, sofa and table. The manufacturer of the Healing Sofa is Keijsers Lun- diform.

During the day the sofa functions as a sofa. It has been designed in such a way that it is easy to adjust, easy to manufacture and can be combined with other furniture of the patient’s room.

At night and on weekends the shutters close to keep the warmth inside
