Today, there’s one more option for those seeking accessible furniture and home goods. Pottery Barn has officially launched its new accessible furniture collection, making it the first large home brand to do so. Designed specifically for the elderly, the injured, and those living with disabilities, this collection is not only functional but also continues the company’s promise of style and quality.
Marta Benson, Pottery Barn’s president, and the company’s designers worked in consultation with the Disability Education and Advocacy Network to create not only new furnishings but also the adaption of 150 of their best-selling styles to fit the needs of all shoppers. While some pieces simply required a tweak to their design, others required more elaborate changes. These ranged from adding a tilt element to mirrors to more adaptive overhauls like incorporating power-lift and other mobility functions to their most popular armchairs.
Pottery Barn’s Accessible Home line initiative may be the nudge needed for the rest of the industry to realize that it makes good business sense to design more inclusively.
