Home furnishings retailer Pottery Barn just launched a new range of pieces designed not just to be stylish but inclusive, too. Products in the brand's The Accessible Home line include a wheelchair-accessible desk with low, open shelves for easy access. A bathroom mirror safely tilts up and down for use while upright or seated. And a reclining chair features a smooth lifting mechanism for secure sitting and standing.
The collection currently consists of 150 pieces, most of which build on bestselling Pottery Barn styles. Many of the items are marked ADA-compliant, which means designers attempted to meet measurements or other specifications to comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. None scream 'accessible.' Instead, function is sleekly nestled within form.
