HMYOI Aylesbury approached Pineapple for help with improving their visits hall.

The Ryno range was chosen due to the behavioural issues faced by staff; the prison was an emotionally charged atmosphere and safety was the top priority.

Ryno tables and chairs are made from a single piece of rotationally moulded plastic, making them impossible to dismantle and weaponise. They are weighted to 50kg to prevent throwing and feature secure seat pads which add comfort without creating a concealment risk.

Over 100 chairs and 25 coffee tables were used to transform the space and improve safety.

The result - a bright spectrum of colours throughout the room - creates a positive and uplifting environment. Removing the institutionalised feel of the space makes it inviting for visitors, helping to encourage regular visits and improve family stability and the initial aim of creating a safe space has been achieved in style.
