Age-friendly furniture – comfort, functionality and timeless design
Age-friendly furniture is about more than just good seating comfort. It's about creating safe, functional and aesthetically pleasing furniture that adapts to the body's changes over time – and that contributes to increased independence, security and quality of life in everyday life.
As we age, our strength, mobility and balance change. This means that higher demands are placed on furniture that will be used daily. Properly designed furniture can make a big difference – in terms of comfort, safety and ease of use.
Our collection of age-friendly furniture is developed with a focus on ergonomics, function and lasting quality, without compromising design and aesthetics. The furniture should feel modern and homely – not institutional.
Important factors when choosing age-friendly furniture
Ergonomic seating comfort
A good sitting position is essential to reduce strain on your back, hips and knees. Firmer seat padding provides better support, feels higher and makes it easier to get up and sit down.
Correct seat height and depth
Optimal seat height provides better stability and safety. At the same time, the correct seat depth is important for good support for the back and thighs, without you “sinking down” into the furniture.
Sturdy and easy-to-grip armrests
Armrests with the correct height and shape provide extra support during transfers, contribute to increased safety and reduce the risk of strain and falls.
Stable construction
Furniture must stand securely and steadily on its surface. A solid construction provides predictable use and safety in everyday life.
Material selection and durability
Age-friendly furniture is used frequently and over a long period of time. Durable materials, good upholstery and thoughtful details ensure a long lifespan and easy maintenance.
Timeless and homely design
Good function should not come at the expense of aesthetics. Furniture with a timeless, modern and homely expression contributes to well-being and makes the room feel warm and inviting.
