Nemschoff Earns Nightingale Nod for Advancing Healing Spaces Through Design

Leading Manufacturer’s Valor Collection Receives Nightingale Award for Significant Contribution to Healthcare Environment

Recognized for its ability to deliver stylish and adaptive waiting room solutions at an affordable price point, Nemschoff, along with Herman Miller Healthcare, received an esteemed Nightingale Award for its Valor collection. Earning the silver distinction within the guest seating category, Nemschoff accepted the honor for Valor at this year’s Healthcare Design Conference in Phoenix.

Overcrowded, space-restrictive waiting rooms often inhibit the comfort and overall flow of key facility stakeholders, including patients, visitors and staff. Understanding this challenge, Nemschoff designed Valor, a comprehensive metal collection of lounge, multiple and stack seating solutions, benches and tables, to effectively adjust to any room through its smaller overall footprint, multiple configuration options and coordinating product line. Durable enough to support high-traffic environments and up to 350 pounds of weight, Valor delivers optimal style, quality and flexibility without the expensive price tag.

Among the industry’s leading awards programs for healthcare products related to the built environment, the Nightingale Awards was initiated in the 1990s to celebrate design excellence and innovation. The program’s judging panel of influential healthcare design professionals selected winners, including Nemschoff’s Valor, based on functionality, innovation, aesthetics and, most importantly, their contribution to the healing environment.
