Health care design continues to become more holistic, merging functionality with aesthetics.
FLX Back-to-Back Lab Bench
Developed with medical labs in mind, this bench system by Formaspace has a steel frame with built-in cable-management troughs, and is assembled with just six bolts, making reconfiguration easy. Back-to-back setups require only a work surface with two legs for support, allowing an optimal use of space.

Custom Murals
Using robotic assembly systems, Artaic collaborates with architects to create custom mosaic-tile installations. For health-care settings, these can range from serene large-scale botanicals to whimsical compositions like the elephant mural in the lobby of Driscoll Children’s Hospital (shown) made with a ¾" vitreous-glass product.
