Stance in Focus

Award-winning healthcare furniture designer set to debut Abrazo at upcoming Healthcare Design Conference + Expo,

Oct. 5-8

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 26, 2024 – Stance Healthcare, leading manufacturer of thoughtfully-designed furniture for healing environments, introduces Abrazo, a versatile  seating series designed to add unexpected comfort to any healthcare space. Joining Stance’s award-winning seating portfolio, Abrazo invites users to lean back and relax in one of its multiple base-and-back combinations, including a high-back rocker, perfect for a mother’s room.

Abrazo is Stance’s most versatile seating collection to date, as the company builds on its commitment to continually evolve products to anticipate the needs of patients, visitors, and care providers through every detail. With two back heights (34” mid-back and 45” high-back) and four base options (four-leg, rocker, swivel star, and swivel star with tilt), Abrazo’s broad application potential appeals to a variety of healthcare spaces from patient rooms and nurseries to respite areas.

The new collection also continues Stance’s commitment to over-engineering for premium durability and safety – while equally prioritizing beautiful aesthetics and appealing textures. Users will enjoy Abrazo’s short rocking action, which is intentional for safety. In addition, its rails have also been designed to ensure stability at both ends of the motion.

“Abrazo represents the versatility that we strive every day to bring to our evolving collection of thoughtfully-designed healthcare products,” said Carl Kennedy, Stance Healthcare’s president. “We are proud to debut this collection, which stands out for its unexpected combination of aesthetics and ease of use. By simply adding that extra element of comfort not often found in a patient room, Abrazo can support a positive healthcare experience.”

Designed with infection control and cleanability in mind, Abrazo features a generous 360-degree cleanout. Additional customizations include fully-upholstered arms or optional solid surface or wood arm caps.

Stance is pleased to debut Abrazo’s rocker and four-post leg varieties at the upcoming Healthcare Design Conference + Expo, Oct. 5-8 in Indianapolis, Indiana. HCD attendees can experience Abrazo and Stance’s other featured products, in addition to new educational opportunities at Booth #647.
