Furniture solutions for the children's hospital

The Al Jalila Children‘s Specialty Hospital was founded by Rashid Al Maktoum as a gift to the children of the United Arab Emirates. It was founded in honor of the birthday of his daughter Al Jalila, after whom this Children's Hospital is named. Designed by the Italian architectural firm Altieri International, the building boasts a high proportion of glass and spacious traffic paths. The environment with its attention to detail is designed to make a hospital stay as pleasant as possible for the children and their families. We placed great importance on functionality and design in furnishing the staff areas.

C + P furnishes various areas

In harmony with the clear interior design of the Al Jalila Children´s Specialty Hospital, C + P, working closely with the investor, developed various furniture concepts for the following areas:

  • Conference and meeting areas
  • Management offices
  • Team work stations
  • Lounges
  • Library

We needed to take different criteria into account when furnishing the conference and meeting areas in order to meet the hospital's quality standards:

  • State-of-the-art technology integration

Al Jalila Children's Hospital places great emphasis on continuous training and continuing education for its staff. In addition to seamless communication in meetings, the furniture must also be optimally equipped for seminar and training sessions.

Stainless steel standing and sitting work stations are used in the management offices. The interplay of chromed steel frames and tabletop decors in white or wenge showcases the simple elegance of the writing tables. The glass foot well veneers harmoniously round off the design.

The combination of two work spaces promotes movement at work at also offers and ideal place for short standing meetings, the "worklift" can be adjusted to standing height. This increases worker's well-being and health and also creates an option for meetings right near the work station. The custom technical integration is yet another feature of the adjustable height table combination.
