Human Services Lookbook
Encouraging communication and growth with enduring furnishings
RT London is designing, building, and delivering furnishings that are as comfortable as they are durable, making the product perfect for the Human Services industry. We are passionate about providing solutions that support everyone working, visiting, and living in these supportive environments. Our furniture encourages communication and growth without sacrificing usability or dependability. From beds and lounge seating to tables and chairs, everything is proudly made in our US-based manufacturing facility.
It’s through a wide array of colors, materials, and finishes that your vision can be realized. That’s why we take great pride in being able to offer one of the most robust, curated selections of products. And, for over 30 years, we’ve been working with our suppliers to tailor materials that not only look great, but can stand the test of time. Because in these environments, whether it’s a hard surface or a textile, the miles of wear can come quickly.
