5 Ways K-SAFE Guarantees a Sound Mental Health Environment

How did K-SAFE evolve? Consumers came to us with an outstanding problem that needed attention. Safety was needed within the challenging behaviour environment whilst not compromising comfort for the occupants.

Knightsbridge Furniture readily arose to the challenge and between the OT’s in-depth knowledge of the problem, and Knightsbridge’s unique furniture making capabilities, a sound design evolved — Knightsbridge’s first K-SAFE product.

As the needs change in challenging environments, Knightsbridge continues to innovate and manufacture new and existing designs that truly enhance Australian’s lives.
