Lecture Theatres
The American School, London
This seating system was originally designed for the American School in London, along with architects Foster-Wilson. The brief was to design a fixed bench unit which had apparent divisions suitable for adult use but continuous seats so that more children could be accommodated. Build quality had to be high and robust so polished hardwood cappings were placed on the ends and top rails of the backs.
The design has further evolved to incorporate higher backs, removable and tipping units, as fitted at Tormead and St Catherine’s schools.
