In 2009, MGA&D formed a design partnership with Stryker Medical to address “the last frontier in healthcare design, the patient room.” The result of this research-driven design collaboration is a suite of patient room furniture that has a symbolic as well as a pragmatic function, with straightforward solutions that combine simple utility, functional innovation and elevated aesthetics.
All design decisions were focused on improving the healthcare experience for patients and their families, and the work experience of clinicians and environmental services professionals. Designed with details that reduce patient falls and protect clinicians from back strain, the Michael Graves-Stryker furniture collection is unique on the market today.
