Montpellier

Classically traditional, comfortably supportive… Meet Montpellier.

Our Montpellier seat was originally designed in collaboration with world-renowned architects Foster + Partners, for Cambridge University’s Law Faculty.

A classic seat perfect for didactic lecture theatres and educational institutions, the Montpellier is comfortable and supportive. It also features a writing shelf which can have power integrated to allow for students to use laptops or tablets.

Remember, these product models are for your reference only. We provide bespoke seating solutions, so while we use these models to form the basis of the seat, they are completely customised to suit your requirements and 100% unique to you.
