Healthcare Seating Revamped with the Edward Collection by Wiesner-Hager
Located in Altheim, Austria, the contract furniture company known as Wiesner-Hager has been plotting their healthcare range of chairs known as Edward with a specific effect in mind. Instead of appearing as if the chairs are built solely for the elderly, the Edward collection features a comfortable, residential feel using high quality materials to make it feel like we are in the comforts of our own home.

The Edward Chair by Wiesner-Hager Provides Home Comfort in the Care World
Since care facilities set out to define their interiors with a welcoming atmosphere, the Scandinavian aesthetic of the Edward chairs have been developed in a wide variety of styles using color and a smooth, resilient finish. “Meeting the needs of the elderly people without prejudice – the Edward chair range, a state-of-the-art chair range, is aimed at the older generations living in care,” describes Wiesner-Hager of the collection’s simple beauty.
Each Edward seat accentuates its silhouette with a strong stance, perfectly angled legs, and a sensible wood finish. Whether it be an armchair, an armchair with the high back chair, lounge chair with adjustable backrest, stackable chair, two-seater bench, or foot stool, each design is built to match one another so that grouping them comes easily.
“Design elements deriving from the residential furniture world evoke familiarity,” writes Wiesner-Hager of their Edwards range of healthcare seating. “Wood as a natural material conveys warmth and intimacy. A concept which meets all health requirements as well as being versatile and individual in design.”
