The Malvern Beam Seating system has many built-in advantages over alternative designs. With fewer floor fixings than conventional chairs and with seats attached to a central beam, it can be supplied fixed or fully removable. Adding free-standing units is simple. Available with polished aluminium or powder coated frames, the design gives a contemporary, cutting-edge look to the seating area.

Versatility is the key to Malvern Beam Seating. Built from a series of aluminium castings supported on a structural, hollow section steel beam, the design can accommodate seating centres from 500mm to 650mm. Its distinguishing feature, both in terms of styling and construction, is the total absence of any external fixing on the seats, backs and floor mounting plates.

While particularly suitable for straight row configurations, radiused rows can be accommodated either by faceting beams of two or three seats each or by using specially curved beams.

The Malvern system gives ease of use and even easier removal. This is vital in venues used for many different events and where cleaning and maintenance are important issues. The Malvern seat tips up via a unique counter balance system that operates without the use of springs. Seats and backs on the Malvern are created using specially formulated flame retardant moulded foams of varying densities. Up to five seat and back units can be fitted to a beam, either with shared or individual arms. Retractable writing tablets are also available making this one of our more versatile seating systems.

Enhanced Comfort
While the standard upholstered seat unit offers an excellent level of ergonomic comfort and support, there are further options to enhance the available cushioning and executre-style bordered upholstery, to make the seat more yielding and supportive. The backrest height and seat depth can also be altered to order.

Writing Shelf
Utilising the technology that enables the Malvern system to operate with the minimum of floor fixings, the writing shelf was developed to complement and enhance the key features of this seating system. Designed for use in lecture theatres and auditoria, the shelf tops are available in a selection of plastic laminates or real wood veneers and can be produced in many different sizes, according to the space available.

Writing Tablet
Easily accessible and simple to operate, a well propertioned, fold-away writing tablet can be fitted for use in conference halls and lecture theatres. When not in use, it stows neatly between the aluminium castings. The tablet is designed to retract quickly and easily in an emergency, Like all our seating systems, it is ideal for large public venues where complience with health and safety regulations is paramount.
