Creating a safe and welcoming space for seniors

The Challenge

HFA Custom Art came to us for help with their client, a large long-term care network, who wanted to create a dividing system to keep residents safe during the COVID-19 outbreak. They were looking for a design that would enable residents in the same room to stay safely apart without adding to the burden of isolation many were already feeling.

The Solution

Working with HFA Custom Art, we came up with a flexible and secure frame structure that could be mobile or fixed in place. The dividing system created a physical barrier between residents for added safety during the pandemic, while the incorporated artwork ensured the barrier flowed smoothly with the surrounding areas and was pleasant and welcoming to look at.

The Partnership

This collaboration for the benefit of a very vulnerable population was based on a partnership with a common goal. By keeping both the staff’s needs and residents’ well-being in mind, we quickly mobilized to put art to work by pooling our strengths and innovative ideas. To date, we have produced over 1,200 barriers that are used across the care facility’s network.

Creating sanitization stations for public health

The Challenge

As the Ontario government began to implement health and safety regulations in early 2020 to help combat the spread of COVID-19, businesses needed quick and effective solutions to keep staff and clients safe. Brands wanted to ensure they were being compliant, maintain their retail aesthetic, and provide access to sanitation products in a convenient and professional way. To assist becoming compliant, DNS and Octopus Display partnered together to develop a sanitization station that worked within retail settings,

The Solution

DNS was able to quickly assess the specific sanitation guidelines required and get to work developing simple, cost-effective sanitation stations, that included the physical station and sanitizer refill bottles to help businesses ensure they were compliant. These were fully customizable to fit each client’s needs and available space, as well as professionally designed, produced, and branded to ensure the store’s aesthetic remained seamless and professional.

The Partnership

DNS worked in close collaboration with Octopus Display to come up with a complete dispenser solution within just a few weeks. This partnership enabled stores to remain open with all guidelines in place, and the quick production turnaround time allowed us to keep up with growing demand. This collaboration also enabled the production of customized displays for large brands like Scotiabank, which required sanitization solutions for their many locations.
