Grahame Gardner Ltd, the number one specialist manufacturer of bespoke medical uniforms, believes that 'friendly design' can influence children positively and with this in mind has designed four new fabrics. James Greenlees, sales director, explains: 'Our brief was to design a fabric which could make children feel more comfortable, whatever the environment. We believe these fabrics could have a positive effect on children in the classroom, or for younger pupils in nurseries. Hopefully, we will be assisting teachers and nursery workers in their day-to-day tasks.' The fabric comes in a choice of four designs: playtime white, playtime jade, doctors and nurses and animals and is suitable for curtains, tablecloths or specific garments for staff and children.
