Stance Behavioral Health’s Flo Collection Invites a Sense of Calm and Normalcy for Dining, and Multi-Use Behavioral Health Settings.

The rotationally molded Flo Dining Collection offers a new and unexpected combination of beautiful aesthetics and end-user comfort not typically found in a healthcare dining environment – and is especially unique for Behavioral Health spaces, for which Flo is specifically designed. With its clean, organic lines, soothing color options, and subtle safety elements, Flo provides a calming aesthetic that invites users to relax while dining safely or participating in group therapy in shared, intensive use spaces. The durable collection has a seamless, easy-to-clean design, with corners and edges rounded for increased safety.

“Flo is unique in that, whether for dining or multi-use settings, it brings a sense of normalcy to the user experience,” said Suzanne Fawley, Stance Healthcare’s Behavioral Health Interior Designer. “Its comfortable, seamless design is easy to maintain and keep clean, while also encouraging the user to sit back and relax. Perhaps most importantly for Behavioral Health settings, Flo’s table and chairs are weighted with rounded corners, supporting a safe environment for patients, caregivers and visitors.”

There are even more options in the Flo line to make multi-use spaces more welcoming for everyone. We will be expanding this series next year with a wider, armed lounge version of the Flo chair. Be on the lookout for more information.  Another addition coming soon is our optional dining chairs, with supportive backs. Ligature resistance is a top priority for rotationally molded furniture in many behavioral health spaces. The back of our Flo chairs flow seamlessly into the arms, creating a direct angle that is both comfortable and safe. With the option of being weighted for added safety, this feature reduces stress and minimizes the opportunities for self-harm.

Flo’s tabletops provide durable versatility with their seamless laminate surfaces and pick-proof molded polyurethane edges to deter dirt collection. They are assembled using multi-core composite construction with encapsulated fasteners for superior strength.

The entire Flo collection is ergonomically designed for comfort, with the Behavioral Health patient experience squarely in focus. By providing patients with comfortable, beautiful and safe furniture in a dining or other group environment, Flo supports an overall environment that resembles that of post-treatment life – and thus supports their preparatory journey to discharge.
