Design and ergonomics

For the Fondation Saphir retirement and nursing centre in Orbe, teo jakob developed a furnishing concept in 2021 that combines comfort, functionality and a welcoming atmosphere. Ergonomic furniture and carefully coordinated materials create living spaces with a high level of comfort for residents and staff alike.

The retirement and nursing centre of Fondation Saphir in Orbe, designed by MAK architecture SA, is characterised by light-filled spaces and a warm architectural atmosphere. Building on this architectural concept, teo jakob developed a furnishing concept in 2021 specifically tailored to the demands of the healthcare sector. Following an in-depth needs assessment, teo jakob selected furnishings that combine functionality, ergonomics and aesthetic quality.

For the communal areas, Seley chairs and benches by horgenglarus were chosen.
