Solutions
We develop and produce seating and tables designed to offer a healthy comfort, excellent aesthetics, and perfect functionality. On top of this, our wide range of products are complemented by our “Solutions” with regard to Fire Prevention, Hygiene and Reduced Mobility. These are technically consummate seating series that, through their specific properties, provide efficient and practical solutions targeted at specific problems.
Fire prevention
Public buildings, such as hospitals, nursing homes and office buildings, are subject to stringent preventive building measures, including the requirement to keep the lobbies, waiting areas as well as corridors serving as escape routes in case of fire, free from any fire load.
Standard-issue, flammable wooden-frame and upholstered seating are therefore not suited for these areas due to the heavy smoke development in case of fire.
The upholstered seating features a special fabric “flamline” incorporated between the upholstery foam and fabric as a flexible, non-filling protective layer. The flamline is nonflammable, heavy-duty even in direct contact with fire and A2 nonflammable according to DIN 4102 as approved by the building authorities. The compound consisting of upholstery foam, nonflammable fabric and fabric meet all the requirements of the classification DIN 66084 P-a – the paper pillow test.

Hygiene
As a result of the growing mobility and the trend towards globalization, the risk of spreading nosocomial infections and as such highly infectious diseases in public and much-frequented environments is on the rise.
Many infections might have been prevented through hygiene-safe furniture and measures in hospitals, residential care and nursing homes, in lobbies, canteens and many other meeting points. Possible risks include open-pored wooden surfaces, grooves, spots that are inaccessible for wipe disinfection, non-removable upholstered pads or unsuited fabrics which are susceptible to a multitude of germs.

Kusch+Co seating and tables make a positive contribution to the overall hygiene: these products provide a highly unfavorable breeding ground for bacteria, germs and mildew.
kuschmed® Hygienic-Line
For this purpose, all wooden, plastic and metal surfaces are pore-free, and some even contain antibacterial properties. On top of this, the removable upholstered pads are impervious to liquids as well as to germs; minimize the spread of germs among persons in fragile health, patients, visitors and employees; at the same time, they offer a skin-friendly comfort and are characterized by a modern design.
Reduced mobility
People, suffering from reduced mobility for a wide variety of reasons, have to cope with many different challenges in their environment.
Especially senior citizens, pregnant women, as well as very small, tall or corpulent persons, not forgetting persons with an individual disability, often have difficulties to take a seat and even more so to subsequently get up. These problems mainly originate from the dimensions of seating, as width and height are usually standardized. Or the seating provides insufficient support.
For this reason, Kusch+Co has selected a range of series that are available in a variety of different seat heights as standard, with reinforced armrests, or inclined upholstered pads. They have even more bespoke solutions for orthopaedic wards, capable of carrying a body weight between 150 and 300 kilograms.
Airports
Special attention is given to the seating geared towards the market segment Airports: most bench series come with the standard option to incorporate respectively retrofit PRM seats or table tops at a bespoke height. As a result, these variations meet the specific requirements and wishes of all passengers and travelers with a disability - in compliance with the EU regulations on PRM equipment for all airline passengers (PRM = persons with reduced mobility).
Reception and Waiting Spaces
Areas of Welcome and Orientation
Our furniture for reception and waiting areas combines comfortable seating with the highest standards of safety and hygiene. Selected materials, such as non-porous, antibacterial surfaces and flame-retardant fabrics, ensure optimal hygiene and fire protection. Benches with PU shells provide a warm, textile-like seating comfort, while integrated PRM seats make sitting down and standing up easier for people with reduced mobility. This creates spaces where patients, visitors, and staff feel safe, welcomed, and well-oriented.
