Hospitals can be a depressing place for children. Designing paediatric areas with this psychological aspect of patients in mind can make all the difference for bored and apprehensive children. The first thought that may come to mind may be a bright and colourful play area, but the children's experience can go further and include bathrooms, as in the case of Paediatrics at Borgomanero Hospital (Italy). This institution has centuries of history and seems to have a bright future, as it is able to understand new trends by finding innovative solutions for patients' needs. Indeed, the hospital approached the design of the waiting rooms and children's bathrooms with dedication, attention to detail and the desire to create a therapeutic environment.
The healing qualities of the space depend on the choice of materials and colours that must also reinforce the functionality of the space and always support the patients' psychology, as healing is an emotional and psychological journey as well as a physical one. In the bathrooms of the hospital's paediatric area, KIDS series washbasin mixers COD: 01212 have been installed.
The Kids line is designed not only to be fun and easy for children, but also for the specific needs of the healthcare sector. Indeed, these taps are colourful and easy to use, but above all they are safe, well constructed, hygienic and easy to clean. Much attention has been paid to the types of materials used, as children use touch more than adults and are eager to explore everything, which is why we use non-toxic paints. In addition, the taps are cheerful characters, which can turn the bathroom experience into an educational game.
