Where has the spirit of Lawrence Peabody gone? Just when I thought it had disappeared, fading into shapeless waiting chairs, Nemschoff has resurrected Peabody's timeless style with the Classics Collection.

Inspired by original mid-century designs "scaled to recreate the comforts of home," the Classics Collection welcomes Scandinavian chic into healthcare venues. I feel better already.

Created for public spaces, the Classics Collection offers the same durability as other Nemschoff products-in a stylish package. Wood furniture is available in Maple, White Oak, and Walnut with a low-sheen finish. Upholstered pieces come in a wide range of fabrics-from soothing to lively.

Best of all, the Classics Collection looks good from any angle. The chairs, benches, and tables feature designs that appeal "from the front, back and sides." Float them in hospital public areas or physician waiting rooms-and voila-a whole new life enters the space.
