Today, when humanistic care is increasingly valued, hospital furniture design should pay more and more attention to avoiding the traditional cold impression. Among them, public furniture at the nurse station and waiting area, such as consultation desks and public benches, are gradually incorporating more humanized care designs.

As a functional platform for guiding patients to seek medical treatment, the guidance desk and nurse station should consider conspicuous designs to facilitate patients to seek help, and often use rounded corner designs to shorten the distance from the patient and reduce the patient's nervousness.

The waiting area is often crowded with people, so public benches and infusion chairs not only ensure the comfort of patients, but also improve the efficiency of space use. Usually, benches with moderate width are used. Some high-end hospitals will also use open waiting sofas to improve the comfort of waiting and relieve the anxiety of patients and their families.
