Scale Appropriate

Our seating works equally well in centralized waiting areas or small lounge spaces. A systems approach with multiple configurations—single to three-seaters, loveseats, and integrated tables—can match the size and scale of your space.

Material Considerations

Furniture and upholstery in waiting areas, especially in emergency departments, need to stand up to 24/7 use and be thoroughly cleanable. Our material selections include healthcare-appropriate, high-performance choices.

Expressions of Your Organization

Let your welcoming and waiting areas publicly express your commitment to customer service and healthcare delivery. And send a message about your culture—contemporary and sophisticated, with clean lines and crisp patterns; or warm and familiar, with soft, comfortable shapes and wood details. Herman Miller gives you plenty of choices.
