I don't know about you, but I feel bombarded by so-called "wellness" design. What wellness design offers us in its Scandinavian minimalist calm is essentially comfort – a highly aestheticised, deeply exclusive form of it. So-called wellness spaces are often inherently ableist, assuming bodies can all move freely, tolerate stimulation and participate in rituals of self-care. If wellness design was about health, it would be more concerned with access than with its brand of minimalist beauty. As public healthcare buckles under the pressure of ageing populations and chronic illness, wellness design is offered as a consumer fix.
