Before the refurbishment…

At Cardiff Metropolitan University, we refurbished a retractable seating system which was not originally manufactured by us.

While the understructure was still functioning, the chairs had become irretrievably worn – many were in fact unsafe or broken.

We replaced them with 214 smart Espace 628 high back chairs with individual folding writing tablets, bringing the room back to life – and back into full use. And because the Espace 628T can be used with or without the writing tablet, it opens up the room to be used as a theatre or cinema as well as a teaching space.
