The classic theatre seat. Designed to the specification of your space.
Widely favoured by traditional theatres, Race Furniture’s Tempest is the classic theatre seat.
A versatile seating system, the Tempest allows the designer to customise its appearance to suit the unique demands of each space. The Heritage style has a decorative frame as it’s point of difference, adding to the classic theatre appearance.
The Tempest can be found in theatres, auditoria and cinemas around the world.
