Why an Indestructible
Student Chair
They say necessity is the mother of invention…
20 Years ago, one of customers, South Downs College were replacing chairs with worrying regularity.


They needed a chair which:
Was high quality
Wouldn’t break with excessive student usage
Was affordable
We came up with a design which:
Gave a fixed back with steel frame – this meant rocking and leaning back wasn’t going to damage the chair
Removed unnecessary ‘moving parts’ – that couldn’t then be snapped
Used high quality & hardwearing fabrics


Over the last 20 years, more universities and colleges have installed these seats in :
Student accommodation
Shared spaces – like libraries,
computer rooms and communal spaces
Seminar rooms
