Winner of a Nightingale Gold Award, the Caterina Guest Collection by Kwalu includes well-conceived details that make it work wonders in healthcare settings.

First of all, the Caterina Guest Chair, which comes in slat back and short upholstered versions, looks great. A clean, simple design with angled arms and legs, Caterina Guest Chair opts for a refined contemporary aesthetic.

Secondly, while pieces in the collection look like wood, Caterina actually uses a ground-breaking, solid surface, high-impact-resistant polymer. The material, which is impervious to moisture, can be cleaned with virtually any antimicrobial product, including bleach.

Third, Caterina Guest Chair is actually built to prevent infection, because the frame inhibits microbial growth.

The Caterina Collection also includes linking and occasional tables.
