Combining the healing warmth of wood with the durability and infection-control attributes of metal, Cressida elevates healthcare and other intensive use environments with its slim, graceful proportions. It has an uplifting lightness of scale, beautifully disguising the fact that this is a seating system with exceptional strength properties: Cressida is engineered and built to provide an exceptionally long life cycle.
A new seat frame system has been carefully designed and lab-tested to be our strongest yet. This is combined with Cressida’s premium dual-density foam (in both the seat and back), which is simultaneously comfortable and durable. Together they provide a construction that is made to handle many years of heavy use. Even so, intensive use furniture does receive wear and tear - so we’ve designed Cressida to provide an infinite life cycle: all components are replaceable if they become damaged or degraded. Another remarkable attribute: Cressida can be taken apart and re-assembled, so it can be thoroughly cleaned and dis-infected.
Cressida is engineered for long life, with the unique ability to field replace all of the components individually, if they become damaged or degraded. This includes seats, backs, arms, side frames, upholstery covers, and the Cressida under-seat Splashguard.
Steel seat frames are joined to other components, and to each other in the multiple seating products, with hardened steel bolts and inserts, ensuring exceptional durability and strength, and easy reconfigurability, as well as on-site replacement of damaged or degraded components.
