Apex Theatre, Bury St Edmunds

in 2010, Performance

We recently developed with Race the bespoke bench and tip-up seating for Bury St Edmunds’ new Apex Auditorium. The comfort, form and construction of the furniture had to complement the crafted Auditorium interior, These elements all of equal importance were developed over a number of productive sessions.
With Race we were able to test and optimise comfort with the direct input of our client at dedicated Council meetings, and together we found a real synergy in developing the details of how the oak, steel and leather elements of these seats should be put together. The process was hugely rewarding and the quality of the seating contributes invaluably to the overall look and feel of the Auditorium.
