45seat

45seat is a modular seating system designed for flexibility in small to mid-sized venues such as theaters, lecture halls, community centers, and multi-use spaces. The system supports quick reconfiguration to fit different stage sizes, event types, or audience needs. The name commonly refers to a standard configuration of 45 individual seating units arranged in a contiguous block, though installations may use other counts or layouts.

Design and construction

Individual modules consist of a seat surface and backrest mounted on a lightweight frame. Modules are designed to connect with snap-in or bolted connectors, enabling rows to be extended, shortened, or rearranged as needed. Materials typically include powder-coated steel frames, rigid seat bases, and durable upholstery or molded plastic. The units are designed for easy handling, portable storage, and maintenance access. Optional features often include armrests, cup holders, tablet arms, and leg covers. The system is designed to meet safety and accessibility considerations, with adequate aisles and sightlines in accordance with local codes.

Applications

45seat is used in venues that require adaptable seating configurations, such as performing arts spaces, lecture theaters, training rooms, and temporary event sites. Its modular nature supports both permanent installations and rental fleets, allowing operators to reallocate seating for varying audience sizes or event formats.

Variations and context

There is no single universal standard for 45seat-style modules; a range of manufacturers offer similar modular seating with differing dimensions and connector systems. In space-planning practice, the term is sometimes used as a target capacity for designing or evaluating room layouts.
