Furniture listed under ‘Challenging Environments’ is designed to suit the demands of a diverse range of behaviours. As such, our collection is designed with the specific needs of care providers and users in mind. Whilst we have previously listed this section as ‘Mental Health Furniture’, the products within support a wider range of applications. Hence, the collection contains a versatile range of products, with a focus on mental health , special education, and autism friendly furniture.
Furniture in this collection is the product of collaborating with care professionals. A choice made to ensure our furniture meets the requirements of care providers. Accordingly, our challenging behaviour range is rigorously tested and created to be robust, comfortable and therapeutic. By the same token, our ‘Challenging Environments’ collection includes a durable, forward-facing selection of furniture.

From concept through to production, we have worked to create safe yet stylish products. All in the interest of helping to build an effective, clean and therapeutic environment. During the design process, every aspect of each piece of furniture is considered meticulously. Correspondingly, we ensure products that we have created are made with the specific needs of the end user in mind. Following a process that assesses each component, technique and fitting to create the most suitable product possible.
As an approved NHS furniture supplier specifically endorsed for mental health environments, we are also able to offer more than just furniture itself. We can provide a complete project management service, incorporating the design, scheduling, and installation of any chosen products.
