Sometimes you just want the quiet comfort of a bay of sick beds, where you can recover from your outbreak of influenza like it’s 1909. You feel me?
Bright white interiors with sterile glass and metal — all vintage, in different sizes.

And don’t forget the artwork and accessories!
And whatever this is:

Haha! This made me smile.
