A brief discussion on the functional design characteristics of hospital furniture

The functional design of furniture includes material functional design and spiritual functional design. Material functional design refers to the furniture as a material product, which mainly meets the basic functions of sitting, lying, leaning, storage, etc., while considering the processing technology and industrial production, as well as the convenience of transportation, stacking, folding, disassembly and assembly. The spiritual functional design of furniture refers to satisfying people's psychological needs and making people feel happy when using it. The spiritual functional design of furniture requires analysis of the user's life characteristics, cultural characteristics and social characteristics.

Different departments design hospital furniture according to their functions. For example, the nurse station is different from the reception desk in other commercial spaces. It must be designed to be barrier-free for patients to use wheelchairs and other facilities and equipment. There must be a table top with a height of 700~800mm. At the same time, the table top should be hollowed out to provide space for wheelchair users to facilitate consultation and other needs.

Due to the special environment of the hospital, the staff, patients and caregivers are vulnerable to various bacteria and viruses. Medical furniture can easily become the main medium for the spread of bacteria and viruses, and its common parts can easily cause cross infection. At present, people's requirements for indoor health have changed from safety and environmental protection to antibacterial and antiviral. Antibacterial medical furniture will have huge potential demand and broad development prospects in the future.
