Inspired by children’s play and imagination, the Italian brand Vernipoll developed a furniture range for paediatric settings. The original product overview highlights bright colours and gentle shapes intended to create a more welcoming environment for children while supporting the work of healthcare staff.
Materials and construction
The cabinet furniture described in the source uses 0.8 mm high-grade steel sheet finished with epoxy powder coating. The source describes the coating as having electrostatic and antibacterial properties; these claims depend on the coating specification and do not remove the need for routine cleaning and infection-control procedures.
A tubular-steel base reinforces the structure. The 60 mm-diameter steel legs have matching thermoplastic feet with height adjustment to compensate for uneven floors. Solid doors, drawer fronts and other wood-based panels use laminate-faced board with ABS edging and rounded corners. Handles are made from soft rubber.
Changing tables and bathing units
The overview includes a range of Vernipoll changing tables. One combined changing-and-bathing unit has a single-piece, thermoformed ABS top incorporating a changing area and a bath. Raised edges and rounded corners are intended to reduce the risk of injury, while the integral surface makes cleaning easier.
The bath has a thermostatic mixer for water-temperature control, and the changing area is supplied with a removable mattress. An infant warming lamp is also mentioned among the associated products.
Other options include a changing cabinet with a mattress shaped to fit its top.
Newborn cots and bassinets
The source describes a removable acrylic, or Plexiglas, newborn cot mounted on a trolley made from epoxy-powder-coated steel tubing. The trolley allows three tilt positions. A version with a chrome-finished trolley is also listed.
The overview mentions sets of four twin castors and decorative designs featuring a cow, bear or cat. The cot range is presented as combining a light structure with strength and a welcoming appearance.
A separate bedside bassinet design has a steel frame intended to provide a stable attachment to the mother’s bed. Transparent plastic sides allow staff to observe the newborn. The design is described as supporting close contact between mother and baby from the first days of life, and it comes with a shaped mattress.
The original article claims attachment to any bed and complete protection against falls or accidental compression. Those broad statements should not be treated as universal safety guarantees: compatibility, secure attachment and permitted use must follow the instructions for the specific bassinet and bed.
Two-section children’s beds
The overview describes a two-section children’s bed with electric height adjustment and Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positioning. Its listed features are:
- Electrically adjusted mattress-platform height.
- A gas-spring-adjusted backrest with a locking mechanism operated by a side handle.
- Head and foot boards and side rails made from soft polyurethane.
- Four swivelling twin castors with brakes.
A two-section bed for younger children is described with manually adjusted platform height and Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positioning. It also has a backrest adjusted by a locking gas spring with a side handle, soft-polyurethane head and foot boards and side rails, and four swivelling twin castors with brakes.
Additional configurations mentioned include a height-adjustable children’s bed with Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positioning, and a hydraulically height-adjustable model without these tilt functions. These are descriptions from the original range overview; features vary by model.
A small ward table
The segment-shaped table described has a tubular-steel base finished with epoxy powder coating. Its laminate-faced chipboard top has a rounded edge. The overall dimensions listed are 60 × 60 × 50 cm.
The Mammy breastfeeding chair
The source presents the “Mammy” chair as a response to requests from Italian maternity hospitals for comfortable seating during breastfeeding. Its concept is a chair that gently supports a new mother at a time when she may be tired, uncomfortable and adjusting to life after birth. The article uses the image of a mother embracing another mother to convey support and reassurance.
The chair is also described for reading and resting, with a shape intended to support the back, neck, shoulders and lower back. The source connects this supportive design with the physical and emotional demands of early motherhood.
During feeding, the headrest can be moved to the left or right. For resting, it can be raised, turned and secured in position. The chair uses resilient polyurethane padding and a painted aluminium frame, with a retractable footrest and an adjustable headrest. Two legs are fitted with rollers to help move it, and the source mentions a range of colours.
The overview describes historical product configurations. For specifications, compatible accessories and cleaning requirements, consult the documentation for the particular model.
