Resin Folding Chairs

Black Resin Folding Chair Rentals

The chair for a floor that is already dark. It disappears into the room and it does not compete with whatever the lighting rig is doing.

Specifications

Same shell. The room decides the rest.

All-weather resin over a reinforced frame, an 18-inch seat, a padded pad and a 1,100 lb static rating — the measurements are the white chair's measurements, because it is the same chair. What black buys you is a seating block that stops being the brightest object in a dimmed room, which is the whole of the decision.

Where the dark chair belongs

Six programmes that ask for black.

  • Conference plenaries

    Rows facing a lit stage in a dimmed room. The audience should be the dark half of the frame — a field of white chairs pulls the eye off the screen and into the seating.

  • AGMs and council meetings

    A formal room where the furniture is meant to be unremarkable. Black is the finish nobody comments on, which on this kind of day is the entire brief.

  • Gala dinners and award nights

    Dark carpet, low light and a lot of them. A white chair on a patterned dark floor looks like it arrived from a different event and stayed.

  • Film and photo sets

    Seating that will not bounce fill light back into a shot. It also folds to two and a half inches, so a row can leave the frame between setups without leaving the building.

  • Black-flooring builds

    Where the build is black flooring and black drape, this chair reads as part of the set rather than as rental furniture parked in front of it.

  • Outdoor evening programmes

    The resin shell handles a wet lawn and a cold night the same way the white one does. After dark the colour advantage of white has stopped applying.

For the room that changes

When the seating has to clear, not fold.

A folding chair goes flat and travels horizontally; a stacking chair goes up a wall in one movement. If the same room becomes a standing reception twenty minutes after the session ends, the stacking chair is the one that empties the floor in time.
