Samuelson Furniture Presents Premier Senior Living Line

PATERSON, N.J. (March 26, 2021)—Samuelson Furniture, a fourth generation family-owned furniture manufacturer, is pleased to announce the launch of Living by Samuelson, the brand’s senior living market debut. Leveraging the company’s 85-plus years of experience and craftsmanship, the Samuelson Furniture design studio sought to reimagine the furniture used in senior living communities—revealing fresh, innovative designs that don’t compromise on durability and comfort

Samuelson Furniture’s first-ever senior living collection, Living by Samuelson, is a unique furniture line handcrafted with upscale design elements that are aimed to enhance the lifestyle experiences of those in retirement communities. The products in the collection are the result of years of extensive ergonomic research, with each detail thoroughly tested and engineered to meet the needs of senior citizens. Samuelson worked in consultation with the esteemed firm Harken Interiors in Chicago culminating in a unique and forward-thinking product for senior communities. The collection’s design features include:

• Chair heights and depths that have been engineered for ease of entry and exit. 
• Mindful furniture shapes that not only provide comfort, but are structured in a way that one’s body won’t fall too deeply into a chair.
• Chair arms that have been built to handle heavy use, allowing full body weight to be supported as they are used for leverage in and out of the seat. 
• A patent-pending hardware system called CATCH by Samuelson that suspends a folded walker on the back of the collection’s chairs. It eliminates “walker-traffic” that typically clutters dining rooms, public areas, and hallways in senior living properties.
• A discreet TILT system that allows the seats of many chairs to tilt forward, exposing a drop-through frame that allows the chair to be easily cleaned. 

Five of the collection’s seating pieces offer the option to include the brand’s built-in Sound by Samuelson Bluetooth technology, which allows users to be immersed in the comforts of sound at the palm of their hands. Users can privately enjoy their favorite song, audio book, TV show or game system without disrupting others beside them. This technology can also be used to facilitate music therapy in senior living facilities. 

Lawrence Chalfin, president of Samuelson Furniture, said, “We do see an application for many of the products that we have developed for an at-home residential setting. In particular, our chairs that feature the Sound by Samuelson technology can be a perfect fit for individuals that might have a hearing issue. A Bluetooth connection to their TV, music or even recorded books can have the sound volume modulated to the individual’s specific needs. Additionally, all of the furniture has been designed with a high-end residential feel while still addressing the needs of the individual.”

“Living By Samuelson fosters a positive senior living environment, through safety, quality, comfort and elegance,” says Michael Chalfin, executive vice president of Samuelson Furniture. “This collection reflects the youthfulness that we all hold within. Our family takes great pride in the product we craft, and we hope our offerings bring that sense of home and community to their space.”

Samuelson Furniture continues to grow its product portfolio, releasing elegant, handcrafted furniture that stands the test of time and satisfies the need for high-quality products for both the hospitality and senior
