At NeoCon 2023, Global announced the preview its new Willow seating series at NeoCon 2023. Available for distribution later this year, Willow was designed in collaboration with patients, healthcare professionals and housekeeping to fully support acute care, ambulatory care and long term care applications. The surrounding form of the chair presents a welcoming look with a grip assist arm option for getting in and out of the chair safely.

Willow comes in 14 colors including quiet neutrals and flamboyant brights. Upholstered seats and backs in warm, healthcare-friendly textiles add comfort when needed. Twenty painted frame finishes in a contemporary and versatile palette align with the seat and back finishes for the latest monochromatic style. To complete the cohesive look, corresponding laminate table finishes are also available.

Willow combines comfort and durability with the flexibility of a modular seating series making it ideal for lounge spaces, public and waiting areas, patient care rooms, clinics and doctor offices. The series includes four-leg and sled base chairs, four-leg stools, and hip chairs in both standard and bariatric widths, ensuring comprehensive support for all healthcare applications.

Willow finds its place as individual seats, joined together, or as a combination. Freestanding single and bariatric seat models can be connected to form curvilinear and rectilinear layouts with side and corner tables. Power and USB units attach to the table surface with a convenient bracket that can be moved as needed.

Willow is pending Greenguard and Level certification as part of Global’s commitment towards LEED building status and a better environment, inside and outside.
