Multifunctional screen for the Wrocław Children’s Hospice created in cooperation with AoFA in Wrocław.
The space for which the screen was created is the so-called “House of rest” – a place with special needs. The residents of the Children’s Hospice range in age from a few months to over thirty years of age.
The screen was created as a response to the specific needs of the staff and residents – creates a temporary private space between residents and facilitates the transfer of materials and cleaning products.
The project is innovative due to the lack of previous research on a topic that combines broadly understood design in a place as unique as a children’s hospice. This means that the design process required thorough and detailed research. The most important element of the screen are openwork boards, compatible with the IKEA SKÅDIS storage system. This makes it cheaper, easier and faster to adapt the screen to its new role. The materials used are safe for the users health.
