Description

Junto is an innovative seat design for sporting venues. It transforms grandstands into social meeting places for friends and families. The tip-up seats offer visitors a dynamic seating experience tailored to the excitement and emotions fans go live through at sports events. The hugging backrest in combination with a round seat, unlike existing stadium furniture, do not prescribe a forward facing posture. The result is freedom of movement encouraging the interaction between the fans in an intuitive and natural way while offering a high level of comfort. Looking at a row of seats the backrests merge into one leaving the impression of sitting on a park bench. The central mounting construction ensures easy cleaning and maintenance of areas frequently touched by spectators.
