In today’s world, space is a premium, especially in performing arts, educational, and sports venues. It’s crucial to find innovative ways to make the most of the space you have.
One effective solution is transforming a room into a multi-use space with retractable seating. This versatile approach allows you to easily convert your assembly hall into a theatre or add seating to your sports hall, maximising functionality and enhancing the overall experience for everyone.
Why Choose Retractable Seating?
Retractable seating is ideal for venues hosting a variety of events from banquets and meetings to sporting fixtures and live performances. Modern systems are designed for ease of use, with many models operable via a pendant controller or simple manual tug, allowing for quick setup and storage with minimal effort.
Key benefits include:
- Space-saving design
- Fast deployment and retraction
- Versatility for different event types
- Enhanced audience comfort and accessibility
So, what are your options?
We offer custom-built seating units designed to fit your venues unique dimensions and layout. Here are a few popular options:
- Mobile & Travelling Units: Perfect for large rooms and sports halls, these units can be moved and positioned to suit different event layouts—whether you’re hosting a packed crowd or creating a more intimate setting.
- Recessed Units: Ideal for venues with wall pockets, these systems tuck neatly away when not in use, freeing up valuable floor space for other activities.
Designs
No two venues are the same—and neither are our seating solutions. At Hussey, weve installed compact units seating just 20 for classrooms, as well as large-scale systems accommodating over 1,000 guests in theatres.
Inclusivity is a cornerstone of our design philosophy. We offer accessible features such as flex rows with wheelchair cutouts at the front of the unit. These rows can be adapted to include standard seating when not needed for accessibility, ensuring maximum capacity without compromising inclusivity.
