2.10.10 | Chicago, IL | Sedia Systems announces the addition of three new lines of Auditorium and Arena seating: the ARC series, the FCB series and the FT10 auditorium chair. Following Sedia Systems tradition of bringing to market products of exemplary contemporary design, the new product lines offer sleek detailing, compact footprints, flexibility for both indoor and outdoor use and product features ranging from entry level to elite.

“Sedia Systems now has an unmatched product and pricing range suitable for the vast majority of auditorium and arena opportunities,” said Sedia Systems company president Wilson Troup. “These new products, combined with our extensive range of lecture hall seating, will significantly increase our presence in both the education market as well as move us more deeply into the auditorium and arena markets.”

The ARC family is comprised of six chairs ranging from simple and efficient to luxurious and exclusive. All incorporate the consistent styling, comfort and durability of Carsten Eichler’s signature design. The product line includes the one piece ARC Shell, the auto uplift ARC Lite, the fully upholstered ARC One with acoustic seat bottom and gravity uplift mechanism, the ARC Max with a higher seat back and thicker padding, the exclusive ARC VIP and the ARC Wood with its natural materials and
organic appeal. 

The FCB product line, designed by Herzog and deMeuron, is a series of eye catching stadium and auditorium seats comprised of a fixed shell seat, gravity uplift seat and upholstered VIP seat. Designed to meet the highest standards, the FCB’s ergonomic design and modern appearance make it a flexible choice for today’s arenas, auditoriums and classrooms. An optional flip up desk system complements the FCB’s good looks.

Comfortable and versatile, the FT10 auditorium chair is the ideal choice for a variety of auditorium and theater environments. It features a modern design, gravity uplift seat, high resilience molded foam cushions and three back height options.

The patented Wrimatic tablet arm is available on both the ARC line and the FT10. The Wrimatic’s 16.5” writing surface makes it suitable for laptop use, as well as making it a comfortable option for left-handed users. It has been tested to 525 pounds of static load and has no problem withstanding daily institutional use. The Wrimatic opens and stows in a single movement for easy row exit.
