A Fresh Look at Seating in Senior Living Dining

Blog – February 17, 2023

The senior living community continues to show its strength and resilience. Following years of solitude and isolation and now armed with the tools to not only survive but thrive, seniors are ready to entertain and be social again.  In 2023 they are looking for clean spaces with stunning furniture that reflects their style. Seniors can rest assured that communities are responding with a higher level of care, improved entertainment options and making sure cleaning processes in shared spaces are more efficient.

Chairs that seamlessly merge dining and activity

This group of chairs can easily transition from dining to games. They are curvy, cozy, and comfortable. Kwalu’s Gela is available with or without a handgrip, which, along with the optional casters,  aid in moving the chair. The Miranda has arm handgrips aid with ingress and egress. The arms and legs of both chairs are made of easily cleaned and maintained Kwalu Classic material.

The dining bench will revisit and create memories

Benches are for more places than the park. Take the senior living dining room for example. High back benches like Kwalu’s Antillo bench is as comfortable as it is versatile. This stately bench comes in four widths. The base is a real eye-catcher with its crisscrossed underframe. It’s a collection that includes backless models as well, but the high back takes the user back to the days of having a sofa pop in a mid-century diner booth.

Thoughtful elegant seating design in dining

It goes without saying that dining chairs, especially in senior living, need to be durable, comfortable and support aging bodies. But the look of the dining chair cannot be an afterthought. Seniors desire and appreciate elegant design. Chairs with a higher back are elegant and give a nod to a wingback lounge chair. The sleek Vercelli and Camarina dining chairs by Kwalu are gorgeous and have thoughtful features that make them go-to elegant dining senior living chairs.
