Pottery Barn is continuing its mission to make accessible design more, well, accessible, and it announced this spring that it was adding a slew of items to its ADA-compliant furniture collection. Now those pieces are finally here, and they’re made in collaboration with Michael Graves Design, no less.
You’ve probably seen the firm’s mod teakettles and kitchen timers made in collaboration with Alessi, but it has also created colorful foldable canes, raised toilet seats, and convertible shower stools (check them out here). This Pottery Barn drop, which will ultimately span 29 pieces (16 are live on the company’s site currently) meets the company’s hyper-functional standards.
No matter what your needs may be, there’s a design that will help make your home a more comfortable place to navigate.
The Nightstand With CPAP Storage
There are a number of superhero details in this unassuming design. First, raised edges make it harder for items to roll right off of the surface (an alarmingly annoying thing that happens to all of us). There’s also enough room in the drawer for a CPAP machine, along with a slit on the side of the nightstand for a hose to pass through—and did we mention there’s an integrated power strip for device charging?

The Bed With the Integrated Armrest and Seating
Getting out of bed is made easier with built-in armrests and side grips aimed at helping you reposition comfortably. Once you’re ready to take on the day, you can use the spacious footboard as a place to sit and get ready. (Psst: It also offers a bit of hidden storage—perfect for tucking away shoes or extra linens.)

The Dresser With Front and Side Grab Rails
The grab rails along the front and sides of this design allow for added balance and assistance (there’s also a wall mount system for extra security). But your decor doesn’t have to be compromised by the raised edges: Peep the tiny opening for lamp cords in the far back corners. Additionally, the 9-inch ground clearance means wheelchair users have more space for their feet.

The Upholstered Chair With an Adjustable Height
You might think the chic wood detail on the back of this seat is for decoration, but it’s a highly functional grab rail that helps facilitate moving from one piece of furniture to the next. The seat height and depth encourage a “nose over toes” position, allowing the lounger to get up and down more easily. But the sneakiest design moment is the adjustable feet—there’s a small attachable element that allows you to toggle between 19 inches and 20.5 inches. A little customization goes a long way.
