Not much longer now until the launch of our Recital chair which is set to revolutionise retractable seating. We’re keeping the chair firmly under wraps until its official launch on 7^th March, but you get a sneak preview by looking at a concept sketch here.

The beauty of the Recital chair? Well, we call it “retractable seating with no compromise”. It throws out of the window many of the concessions which have had to be made in chair design when the chair is on a retractable platform. When a platform chair’s folded down, clearly there are maximum dimensions between the decks and the front and rear beams of the platforms. So generally, the more luxurious the chair, the higher the row rise. But many chair designs simply cannot be accommodated on a retractable system.

Recital however breaks new ground by offering classic auditorium style and features, including a contoured show wood back and timber end panels – all on a retractable system. You can find out more about how we did it by clicking here.
