“Our flat-packed, solid wood Unity Table is designed with simplicity and inclusivity in mind. It’s about more than just a piece of furniture; it’s about creating a space that anyone can build, afford, and feel at peace in—regardless of their abilities. By combining natural materials with easy assembly, we’re making quality design accessible to all, while promoting a sense of calm and connection through every touch of wood.” — Matt Cheadle, Creative Director
The Unity Collection by Mantra Inspired Furniture is designed to support neurodiversity and inclusivity by incorporating elements that foster comfort, focus, and a sense of calm in various environments. Here’s how the collection achieves this:
Natural Materials: The Unity Collection features solid wood pieces with natural finishes, promoting a connection to nature that can have a calming effect on neurodiverse individuals. The tactile quality of wood provides a soothing sensory experience, reducing anxiety and sensory overload.
Simplicity and Accessibility: Flat-packed furniture is typically designed for straightforward assembly, which can empower individuals with different abilities to build and customize their own furniture with minimal assistance. The clear instructions and easy-to-follow steps reduce frustration, making the process more inclusive for people who may have varying levels of motor skills or cognitive abilities.
Soft Curves and Rounded Edges: The collection features furniture with soft curves and rounded edges, which are visually comforting and less likely to trigger sensory sensitivities compared to sharp or angular designs. This thoughtful approach reduces the risk of injury and enhances overall safety and accessibility.
Neutral and Calming Color Palette: Unity utilizes a neutral, nature-inspired color palette that minimizes visual overstimulation. The colors are soft and muted, creating a peaceful environment that supports concentration and reduces sensory overload.
Cost-Effective and Space-Efficient: Unity's flat-packed tables are more affordable and space-efficient, making them accessible to a broader range of individuals and organizations. This affordability supports inclusivity by making quality, solid wood furniture available to those with varying budgets and spatial needs.
Focus on Sustainability: By prioritizing sustainable materials and eco-friendly production methods, the Unity Collection supports inclusivity through ethical choices that align with the values of diverse communities. It helps create environments that are mindful of both human and environmental well-being.
Overall, the Unity Collection is thoughtfully designed to create inclusive, neurodiverse-friendly spaces that promote well-being, comfort, and connection through sustainable and adaptable furniture solutions.
