After all, the average age of the people here is the highest of any region in the world, and the tendency is rising. This dream can be fulfilled for all those who orient their living spaces to the future and equip them with age-appropriate furniture.

This includes, for example, motorised adjustable armchairs. Today, many people believe they are an essential part of a cosy yet ergonomic interior.

A study from 2021, which surveyed furniture manufacturers worldwide, confirms that the industry in Europe has recognised the importance of adjustable armchairs for the older generation.
