Neighbor, Nurture by Steelcase

This healthcare seating system allows for open and semi-private spaces in waiting rooms.

Medical-care facilities are often stressful places for patients and their families. Furnishings in waiting rooms and other meeting areas are often not designed to facilitate semi-private conversations or small-group gatherings. Neighbor from Nurture by Steelcase features chairs, benches, and tables that can be arranged to foster collaboration as well as intimate discussion. The chairs are offered with 15”- or 21”-tall backs to help delineate space. Available in seven wood laminates and a metallic paint finish. nurture.com
