Development of the LogiLife collection
Broad lines of the LogiLife collection
The LogiLife collection is a complete line of furniture intended for the living environments of
long-term care centres and hospitals. It is the product of two years of research in healthcare
environment design with the collaboration of caregivers, nurses, beneficiaries and maintenance
employees.
Design Criteria
• Aesthetics: Logiflex avoided an approach that was too clinical or institutional by placing an
emphasis on materials with soft and natural colours and wood-like finishes.
The result: furniture with a residential look that can be used to create a warm environment.
• Hygiene: Logiflex chose to create smooth surfaces free of mouldings and to use linoleum
for the horizontal surfaces because of the material’s antibacterial properties.
Result: effective maintenance and elimination of areas conducive to germ proliferation.
• Resistance: Materials that stand up to highly concentrated cleaning products and that
maintain their appearance over time.
• Durability: Solid construction, with a 1”-thick structure and 5/8”-thick drawer bottom.
• Ergonomics: Thanks to the input of healthcare professionals at the design stage, LogiLife
furniture is adapted to these needs of beneficiaries and to all those who work and live in care
and hospital centres, every unit is 6” off the floor.
• Flexibility: Logiflex offers a variety of combinations and component options so as to satisfy
each client’s individual needs.

• Price-quality ratio: Logiflex offers its LogiLife furniture at very competitive prices:
“Customized products at mass-manufactured prices.”

Well-planned versatility
All furniture units can be recombined as needed. For example, the drawers of bedside cabinets
can be replaced by shelves. In fact, all models in our catalogue are presented as suggestions: all
models can be modified according to the client’s specific needs. Furniture dimensions have
been calculated to allow for easy reconfiguration of rooms, a need often encountered in care
centres and hospitals. Furniture units have also been designed so that they can be moved
around easily.
Features and Benefits
The LogiLife collection includes beside tables, dressers, wardrobes, hutches, audio-visual stands and
activity units, as well as the Arc 12 table. All LogiLife furniture items have the same features and offer
the same benefits.
