Broadway

Broadway by name, Broadway by nature – a real showstopper!

Our Broadway seat is a fully customisable pedestal seat that is perfect for layouts on a tight curve, and ideal for theatre, auditorium and conference spaces.

As the pioneers of the pedestal theatre chair back in 60’s, with the original designed by Peter Dickinson and awarded the Council of Industrial Design’s Duke of Edinburgh Prize for Elegant Design, we truly are the experts in this style.

Remember, these product models are for your reference only. We provide bespoke seating solutions, so while we use these models to form the basis of the seat, they are completely customised to suit your requirements and 100% unique to you.
