Meet the New Cast! We're excited to start the new year by revealing our new line up of auditorium chairs! We've partnered with our colleagues at Kotobuki Seating to introduce Alto, Soprano & Mezzo. Elegant, comfortable, human-centred design. audiencesystems.com/meet-the-new-c…

Across the Kotobuki Group, we never lose sight of the most important thing a seat can offer - COMFORT. Our article in Auditoria Magazine looks at how we integrate comfort into our designs for cinemas and theatres, including in our retractable seating. auditoria.mydigitalpublication.co.uk/2026-annual-sh…

What a before and after at Ongar Academy in Essex! Our customer was delighted with the comfortable seats and "flawless" service! You can't ask for much more! See the case study here: audiencesystems.com/case-studies/3…

Let's talk about refurbishments! Even when fabrics & foams are worn, our seat frames are often still good to go. Here's a great example - our client reduced both spend & environmental impact compared to new seats, & was delighted with the results! audiencesystems.com/case-studies/b…
