Product Details

In response to a growing demand for spacious, user-centered seating in multi-use venues of the 1980s, the Kensington Theatre Seat was born—a refined update to the traditional theatre chair offering deeper cushions, generous tread space, and timeless proportions. Clean, understated lines are framed by full-height upholstered or timber side panels, lending the seat a cultured and architectural serenity. Built for multi-tiered layouts, the Kensington adapts with subtle geometry adjustments—more recline in stalls, upright support in circles—offering both comfort and sightline precision in diverse auditorium configurations. Removeable versions ensure accessibility, enabling orchestra pits or wheelchair spaces with ease.
  • Spacious Comfort – Generous seat width, deep cushions, and articulate backrests offer lasting comfort in every row.
  • Flexible Configuration – Subtle geometry tweaks from stalls to balconies ensure optimal sightlines and ergonomic posture throughout.
  • Silent, Safe Tip‑Up – Smooth, noise‑free operation with anti‑finger‑trap engineering for audience safety.
  • Premium Custom Finishes – Choose tweed, velour, wool, or leather upholstery, with optional timber-finished sides, arms, or undersides.
