✨ NEURODIVERGENCE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF DESIGN FOR SUPPORT AND INCLUSIVITY✨

In our latest episode of Healing Spaces, Edward Larsen from Pineapple hosts a compelling discussion on neurodivergence and the pivotal role of inclusive design.

We have an opportunity in the design world to make the built environment less of a challenge for the neurodivergent population, and focus on creating spaces that are inclusive and supportive of individuals and their diverse cognitive styles.

Building versatility into the spaces gives a sense of agency to the people within them. While we can’t really understand how everyone is going to perceive the built environment, one thing we can do is ask.

Thank you to our wonderful guests:
Stephanie Vito from CannonDesign
Jason Beshore from HDR

🔐 Addressing Ligature Risks in Mental Health Care 🏥

Ensuring Safety and Preventing Harm in Challenging Environments.

Ligature risks are a concern in all areas, but bedrooms pose a particularly high risk due to reduced staff observation, making safety precautions even more critical.

At Pineapple, we know that even the smallest design details can significantly affect safety outcomes. Our in-house design team is committed to addressing these concerns by focusing on minimising ligature risks in every product we create. Through thoughtful innovation and careful consideration, we strive to enhance safety and provide peace of mind in even the most vulnerable spaces 💡💙.

🌍 Today, on (10th October), Pineapple is proud to support the Mental Health Foundation’s ‘Wear it Green Day’. We’re wearing green to raise money for this important cause! 💚

At Pineapple UK HQ, we started the day with a yoga and meditation session led by Rose-Marie Sorokin from Inner Light Yoga 🧘‍♀️—a perfect way to embody this year’s theme: "It’s time to prioritise mental health in the workplace". This ties in with the earlier theme of "movement" for well-being.

This afternoon, we’ll enjoy Tea & Talk ☕🍰, with our export teams arranging their own office activities to join in.

Let’s continue to make mental health a priority. For more info, visit: www.mentalhealth.org.uk

💡Introducing our Fynn Task Light 💡

Lighting can play a key role in humanising healthcare spaces, bringing visual warmth and providing a softening effect to the built environment.

As with all fixtures and fittings in mental health environments, lighting must be sensitively designed to preserve safety by minimising ligature risks, preventing tampering and reducing the likelihood of damage.

🔑 Key safety features:


✅Reduced ligature:

The sloping shape has been carefully designed to minimise ligature risks.

✅Anti-vandal

Designed to withstand harsh treatment in challenging environments, Fynn has been impact tested to IK08 and features anti-tamper fixings.


✅Resistant finish

The strong cast aluminium construction has a durable powder coated finish and is paired with a 6mm shatter-resistant polycarbonate lens.

✅Touch operated

With capacitive touch dimming, users can control the 3 brightness settings by simply touching the case.

✅Illumination

Long-lasting energy efficient 5W LEDs emitting 278 lumens with a warm white or cool white bulb colour

✅Splash-resistant

Fynn is tested for splash resistance with an IP44 rating
