FAQs
What are Figueras seating systems?
Figueras seating systems are movable seating solutions designed to help venues transform their layout according to different uses. The goal is to enable multipurpose spaces that can shift from seated configurations to open areas when needed, supporting versatility and space efficiency.
What is a movable seating system?
A movable seating system is a solution that allows seating to be repositioned, stored, folded or reconfigured to accommodate different formats and capacities. Depending on the system, seating can be stored under the floor, to one side of the hall, or folded into tiered structures, enabling spaces to transition between layouts more efficiently.
What types of venues are movable seating systems suited for?
Movable seating systems are suited for venues that require frequent reconfiguration, such as conference centres, theatres, arenas, educational institutions, and other multi-use environments. The key factor is the operational need to change formats (seated events, open-floor activities, different capacities) without major structural modifications.
What are the main differences between underfloor, side-storage, and retractable seating systems?
These systems provide flexibility in different ways. Underfloor storage systems allow seats to be stored beneath the floor to free up space. Rail- or side-storage systems can store rows to one side or under a stage area. Retractable systems typically fold and unfold as a tiered structure, creating stepped seating that can be compacted when not in use. The best option depends on storage possibilities, frequency of changeovers, and venue constraints.
What is the Mutasub Seating System used for?
Mutasub is designed to store seats underneath the floor, enabling quick transformation for multipurpose spaces. It is a strong option when the venue needs a fully open area and has the architectural conditions to integrate underfloor storage in the project design and construction.
What is the Mutarail Seating System used for?
Mutarail allows storage of rows on one side of the hall, underneath the stage, or within a platform under the floor. It is suited to spaces that need different configurations and where lateral, stage-adjacent or platform storage is part of the operational plan.
What is the Mutawheel Seating System, and when does it make sense?
The Mutawheel Seating System is a mobile solution designed for flexible seating layouts, featuring built-in wheels that allow seats to be moved and repositioned as needed. It requires a dedicated storage area when not in use and is therefore suitable for venues where sufficient storage space is available.
Due to its mobile nature, Mutawheel is intended for flat-floor environments and is not suitable for venues with sloped floors or permanent raked seating areas. It is best applied in spaces that prioritise flexibility and frequent layout changes under controlled conditions.
What is the Retractable Seating System and why is it used?
The Retractable Seating System is a tiered solution designed for stability and efficient folding/unfolding. It is typically used when venues need stepped seating capacity that can be compacted to free floor space for alternative uses. The system is presented as designed to international standards on your site.
What is the Dual Seating System and where is it most useful?
The Dual Seating System features a reversible seat and backrest design, enabling use in different orientations. This can be useful in adaptable environments where the seating direction may need to change depending on the event setup—such as auditoriums, museum halls or waiting areas.
Are Figueras seating systems manual or automated?
Figueras mobile seating solutions include both automated and manual options. The appropriate choice depends on operational requirements such as changeover frequency, staffing, speed, user control and venue management priorities.
What should project teams consider when selecting a seating system?
Selection should start from how the venue will operate: how often layouts change, what formats need to be supported, where seating will be stored, and how circulation and access work during transitions. Project constraints (floor build-up, stage/underfloor areas, storage zones) and user experience (comfort, visibility, safety) should be considered together, not separately.
How early should a movable seating system be defined in a project?
Movable seating systems should ideally be defined early, because storage solutions (underfloor, platform, side storage) and changeover logic often affect architecture, structure and technical coordination. Early definition helps align the seating strategy with spatial planning, construction constraints and the intended operational model.
What are the benefits of mobile seating systems in terms of space efficiency and economic value?
Mobile seating systems enable venues to make more efficient use of available space by supporting multiple configurations within the same footprint. This allows a single area to host seated events, open-floor activities or mixed formats over time.
From an economic perspective, this flexibility increases the overall value of the space by improving utilisation rates, reducing the need for additional dedicated areas and supporting more efficient operational planning. The emphasis is on optimising space performance over the long term rather than maximising short-term return.
How can mobile seating systems support space optimisation and long-term profitability?
By allowing venues to adapt layouts to different uses and capacities, mobile seating systems support more effective space optimisation throughout the lifecycle of a building. Spaces can be programmed more intensively without increasing built area or duplicating functions.
Over time, this adaptability can contribute to improved operational efficiency, better resource management and enhanced long-term profitability. The economic impact is not generated by the seating system itself, but by how effectively the space can be operated, scheduled and adapted to changing needs.
