by Zaneti

The Zaneti Acoustic Retractable Auditorium Seating System is a premium telescopic seating solution designed for lecture theatres, auditoriums, performing arts centres, schools, universities and multipurpose venues throughout Australia.

Building upon the flexibility and performance of our standard retractable seating platform, this model incorporates an integrated timber acoustic seat back panel that enhances the visual appearance of the auditorium while helping to improve the acoustic performance of the space. The timber panel creates a refined architectural finish when the seats are folded, making it particularly suitable for performing arts venues, theatres and presentation spaces where sound quality is a key consideration.

Engineered to maximise seating capacity while preserving valuable floor space, the system retracts smoothly when not in use, allowing venues to quickly transform between audience seating and open-floor configurations. Its robust steel structure, ergonomic seating design and high-quality upholstery deliver long-term durability, comfort and performance in high-traffic environments.

Available in a range of timber finishes, upholstery options and seating configurations, the Zaneti Acoustic Retractable Seating System can be customised to suit project requirements, including seat numbering, aisle lighting, writing tablets, accessible seating positions and integrated power solutions.

Ideal for education, government, corporate and cultural facilities, the system provides a flexible, space-efficient seating solution that combines enhanced acoustics, architectural appeal and exceptional audience comfort.
