Pottery Barn has a new line of furniture and accessories, the Accessible Home, which is designed for people with disabilities or who are injured or aging in place.
Pottery Barn says the collection, which launched Friday, includes 150 products across several categories, such as pivoting mirrors, adjustable beds, and desk lamps. Many of the high-end items are new versions of existing products and are on par price-wise as well. You can purchase them now, and they will ship in the fall. Some, like the power-lift recliners, are ready to ship.
The products are mostly for those with mobility issues, including grab bars for showers, power-lift recliners, and wheelchair-accessible desks that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. However, the company notes that "accessibility compliance remains the responsibility of the buyer."
To create the collection, the retailer worked with the "Disability Education and Advocacy Network," a group that advocates and educates about disability issues, and Lisa Cini, founder and CEO of senior-living design company Mosaic Design Studio.
You can visit the Accessible Home site now to view the collection. We've highlighted a few products below.
Made of solid spruce wood and MDF, the Malcolm Desk is lightly distressed to give a vintage look. It's ADA-compliant, and it's dimensions are 26 inches wide, 68 inches long, and 30 icnhes tall.
Clean lines and gray stone top have a sophisticated, industrial feel. The base is solid birch engineered wood, and the legs are steel. The dimensions are 42 inches wide by 21 inches deep and 34 inches high.
Power-lift chairs raise and tilt to help the sitter into a standing position. Pottery Barn's Irving is a club-chair style perfect for a study or living room and is available in leather or fabric.
Pottery Barn created grab bars that can blend perfectly with a variety of bathroom styles. They're made of steel, brass, and iron and come in chrome, trumble brass, or matte black. Three sizes are available: 24, 36, and 48 inches.
The marble top and decorative black metal legs of the Rae dining table were inspired by Paris. The ADA-compliant table is 45 inches long, 23.5 inches wide, and 28 inches tall.
Adding shelves on the side of the desk instead of underneath gives space for more maneuverability under the Pacific desk. With the bookcase, the solid poplar wood and MDF desk is 78 inches wide, 64 inches deep, and 30 inches high.
Looking ready for a beach house, the Sausalito vanity's caned paneling is on-trend yet classic. It has a Carrara marble top and a base made of solid ash wood, MDF, and elm veneers. The dimensions are 61 inches wide, 21 inches deep, and 33.5 inches tall.
An adjustable mirror to give you just the right angle
