The Memory Care Unit in the upmarket Retirement Facility located in Sea Point consists of an open plan residents' lounge (the teal & yellow space we shared before) and a dining area. . Even though the dining chairs appear pretty standard, we spent some time prototyping them with the manufacturer as well as operations personnel in charge of the Unit. The chair has been optimally designed to lend the necessary support to the frail residents, while its sleigh-base allows nurses to push the residents in and out with greater ease. . The most prominent feature in this space is of course the custom-printed wallpaper. As most who stay in the Memory Care Unit suffer from #Dementia or #Alzheimers, our client wanted to introduce photographs of a vintage Cape Town in order to engage the residents. We found this brilliant shot of the petrol station across the street from the venue taken in the 50s and decided to turn it into a wallpaper. . #fabric #sourcing #interiordesigner #designmonarchy #decorating #interiorinspiration #interiorstyling #love #interiordesign #interior #mybeautifulmess #TNChustler #DSpattern #yellow #diningroom #happy #livecolorfully #calledtobecreative #trend #retirement #retirementinteriors #chair #furniture #vintage #wallpaper #capetown

Still in the upmarket Retirement Facility located in Sea Point: To brighten the space and add a playful element, we sourced a fun patterned fabric in teal and white for this chair. The seat and inside arms were upholstered in a matching textured teal vinyl. This yellow and teal colour combination and pattern-play added much-needed cheer and interest to the Memory Care Unit where most of the residents suffer from #Dementia or #Alzheimers. . #fabric #sourcing #interiordesigner #designmonarchy #decorating #interiorinspiration #interiorstyling #love #interiordesign #interior #mybeautifulmess #TNChustler #DSpattern #yellow #teal #geo #happy #livecolorfully #calledtobecreative #trend #retirement #retirementinteriors #chair #furniture

Another happy snap of the same gorgeous yellow chairs. We love the little grey and yellow #paisley scatter cushions too. . #fabric #sourcing #interiordesigner #designmonarchy #decorating #interiorinspiration #interiorstyling #love #interiordesign #fabrics #mybeautifulmess #TNChustler #DSpattern #yellow #geo #happy #livecolorfully #calledtobecreative #trend #retirement #retirementinteriors #chair #furniture

A lovely close-up snap of the gorgeous sunny yellow chairs we had made for the Memory Care Unit of an upmarket Retirement Facility in Sea Point. It is always so rewarding to see how stunning the fabrics we source look once on the finished furniture item. What do you think? A happy combo yes? . #fabric #sourcing #interiordesigner #designmonarchy #decorating #interiorinspiration #interiorstyling #love #interiordesign #fabrics #mybeautifulmess #TNChustler #DSpattern #yellow #geo #happy #livecolorfully #calledtobecreative #trend #retirement #retirementinteriors #chair #furniture
