Weaponizing furniture in mental health settings, such as in psychiatric units, emergency departments, custodial services or hospitals in general, poses significant risks to both patients and staff.
Designing furniture to mitigate this is crucial to providing a safe environment.
Using furniture as a weapon takes many forms, creating ligature points, or concealing dangerous items as well as weaponising the piece itself.
Creating a truly safe space goes beyond just the environment – it’s about the furniture we choose.
Safe spaces, strong minds.
In our industry, it’s essential to ask:
Will this piece of furniture help create a safe space for everyone?
At Abecca, all our furniture is built with safety at its core. With 100% foam only construction, each piece is designed to meet the highest safety standards.
Have you considered the potential danger of wooden or weighted furniture when thrown at a window or the likes?
Unlike foam-based furniture, which would simply bounce off, wooden and weighted furniture will cause a lot more harm.
Abecca’s foam only construction is designed for the ultimate peace of mind in your facility.
Do you think a window can survive a chair thrown at it?
