Healthcare furniture manufacturer, Pineapple Contracts, has launched a new addition to its award-winning Ryno range in response to customer feedback.
The company said: “By combining a tactile, organic style and therapeutic colours with heavy weighting and extreme durability, the range has established itself as a transformative tool for humanising demanding environments worldwide.”
The latest addition – the Ryno tub chair – follows the same design ethos, but incorporates comfortable armrests which wrap around to create a supportive backrest. The absence of handles or other lifting points, and the heavily weighted design (75 kg as standard, with a lightweight model also available) make the chair difficult to pick up or throw. If required, products can be linked together or securely fixed to the floor with heavy duty steel brackets and anti-tamper fixings.
There is a choice of 11 chair colours, together with an optional seat pad, ‘available in hundreds of shades’. The water-resistant, UV-stabilised material makes the nonupholstered version suitable for outdoor use. Jayne Shawcross, Pineapple Contracts’ head of Marketing, said: “Following customer feedback, we wanted to create a version of the Ryno chair offering more support for clients with limited mobility. The tub chair’s arms and heavyweight design provide real confidence when sitting and standing, which both helps to preserve independence and boosts staff safety.”
