Mollu is a welcoming tub chair designed to soften mental health environments, replacing institutional hardness with dignity and connection. Created for spaces where users may feel vulnerable, it integrates safety features seamlessly so they are experienced as comfort rather than control.
Its enveloping form provides reassurance, while shallow seams reduce opportunities for concealing harmful items. The spherical shape discourages ligature attachment and prevents the chair from being easily lifted, enhancing safety without visual stigma. This demonstrates a thoughtful approach, solving challenges through form rather than add-on features. A 180-degree swivel base allows gentle movement, supporting self regulation and sensory grounding. The rotationally moulded base is seamless, durable, and easy to clean. Optional floor fixing or internal weighting provide additional security.
