NURSERY
FURNITURE – CHILD’S PLAY FOR DAVID BAILEY
David Bailey Furniture Systems goes ‘miniature’ with
specially designed and manufactured furniture to suit the
discerning tastes of children. The ‘mini-furniture’ was
specifically designed and manufactured in bright colours,
in exact miniature proportions for children’s use
and included miniature cupboards, shelving units and wall
units for nurseries.
David Bailey supplied nursery furniture
to a number of hospitals, including the day nursery at
the prestigious
Kings College Hospital, London, the Wendy House Nursery,
Princess Royal Hospital, Haywards Heath, the day care nursery
in St Richard’s Hospital, Chichester, and Sure Start
Nursery in the Sidley Community Centre, Bexhill.
"We are
delighted with the results. The nursery looks fantastic
and the furniture is both durable and safe.” commented
Mark Ashlee of Soden Construction Group, contractors for
Kings College Hospital project.
When designing furniture
for nurseries, David Bailey includes many safety features,
such as recessed handles that do
not protrude beyond the overhanging worktop and will not
catch on clothes. The cupboard doors open completely back
on themselves, hung on 170-degree high quality durable
Blum metal hinges. This allows the doors to ‘give’ if
someone runs into it, and in the case of wall units, can
prevent nasty head injuries from cupboard doors left open.
In addition, exposed edges of doors are melamine edged
to ensure a smooth finish. Alternatively a 2mm PVC edging
eliminates sharp corners on doors and drawers.
"With any project, it is important not to
feel limited to off the shelf designs. Bespoke furniture
can help achieve
the best solution and this does not mean an increase
in expenditure." stressed Trevor Gillman, managing director
of David Bailey Furniture Systems. |
