At Pacific Seating (AUS), we are passionate about delivering quality, value, and a tailored service that meets the unique needs of every client. With over 30 years of collective experience among our principals, each directly involved in the design, sales, and installation of specified seating systems, we bring expertise and innovation
to the forefront of our offerings. As an Australian-owned and operated company,
we specialise in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of Glide Retractable,
Telescopic, and Fixed Seating Systems.
A commitment to quality and innovation
Our approach combines the best of traditional craftsmanship with modern advancements in technology. This dedication allows us to develop products that not only meet but exceed industry standards. Our extensive seating system range provides architects, city councils, school staff, and facility managers with effective solutions tailored for a wide variety of applications — from community centres to educational
institutions and sports venues.
Innovation invites integration
With new facilities being built every day, new challenges arise. One of these is the need to innovate our designs to meet the requirements of our athletes and spectators with disabilities. Pacific Seating has gained international recognition for our commitment to this cause, winning the 2022 BUILD Construction and Engineering Award for being Australia's "most innovative and customised seating company." Our designers have created a unique space that ensures individuals with mobility impairments can enjoy the event alongside able-bodied spectators, sitting next to friends and family amongst the action. Importantly, this Variable Row 1 (‘VR1’) design also maintains spectator capacity.
This innovative seating option has been embraced globally as a premium feature in our
Glide Series retractable seating systems, further enhancing integration.
Glide Series structure
Glide Series retractable systems are the most advanced systems in the market today. Featuring a versatile under-structure that optimises operation while adhering to global requirements, these units are durable and easy to operate. Each Glide Series unit is designed with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a user-friendly experience like
no other.
With the capability to custom design and engineer from Row 1 to 21, the Glide Series
can be tailored to meet your facility’s exact specifications. One of the standout features –
as mentioned above – is the VR1 option, which maximises comfort for wheelchair attendees. This thoughtful design promotes inclusivity, allowing all spectators to enjoy a superior viewing experience.
The Glide Series is particularly well-suited for educational and community facilities,
accommodating everyone — from participants to their friends and families. Whether you
require a small portable unit or a larger, more robust travelling system, the Glide Series can cater to your every need, all while enhancing the overall spectator experience.
Customisation at its finest
Cook seat customisation:
At Pacific Seating, we pride ourselves on listening to our clientele and responding with innovative solutions. Our fully customised Cook seating option is ergonomically designed to provide each spectator with an individual seat space that prioritises comfort and convenience. With selfopening and self-closing functions, our Cook seats dramatically reduce the time and human resources needed for set-up and pull-down during events. With just the push of a button, you can seamlessly transition from one event to the next.
We offer three levels of comfort along with various finishes to ensure a fully tailored seating experience. Whether you choose polymer, padded, or fully upholstered seat finishes, Pacific Seating’s competitive advantage lies in our fast set-up and pull-down times, vivid colour options, and a commitment to enhancing the spectator or student experience.
SBS seat customisation:
Our Simple Bench Seat (‘SBS’) is designed with effortlessness in mind, making it an ideal choice for education departments, community centres, and sports halls. Featuring an individually contoured bench design, the SBS seat allows spectators to choose their own personal space, promoting comfort and flexibility. The SBS seat requires no cumbersome set-up, it is a simple yet effective design. Operated with a simple push of a button, the seating area can be ready in just 1-2 minutes, ensuring that everyone can take their seat quickly and easily.
Customisation options for the SBS range include polymer seats, wooden benches, padded fabric, or fully upholstered seats with folding backrests. Whether outfitting a school gym or a multipurpose space, the Pacific Seating team is dedicated to delivering a personalised product that aligns with the specific requirements of each project.
The importance of inclusivity
As we design our seating systems, inclusivity is a cornerstone of our philosophy. We recognise that creating an accessible environment is crucial not just for compliance, but for fostering a community where everyone can participate. The Glide Series, with its VR1 feature, exemplifies our commitment to accommodating wheelchair attendees and people with mobility impairments, ensuring they have the same exceptional experience as all spectators.
By incorporating accessible design elements, we help facilities create an atmosphere that encourages social interaction and engagement. Everyone deserves the chance to cheer on their favourite teams, celebrate victories, and enjoy the thrill of live events together.
The vibrance of new venues
Newly designed facilities are not just about aesthetics; they play a significant role in enhancing the spectator experience. Our seating systems are engineered to fit seamlessly into vibrant, modern venues that prioritise comfort, accessibility, and functionality.
From spacious aisle walkways to cutting-edge technology, Pacific Seating solutions are integrated into facilities that invite spectators to immerse themselves in the event. The combination of innovative seating with a lively atmosphere transforms a visit to the venue into a memorable experience, one that encourages community engagement and lasting memories.
Evolving education facilities
New educational facilities are transforming the landscape of learning, providing students
with modern environments that enhance both engagement and academic success. These spaces are designed not just for usability but also to inspire creativity and collaboration among students. Pacific Seating's range of seating units are becoming a staple in this transformation, particularly in performing arts centres and multipurpose spaces.
New auditoriums and gymnasiums are more than just buildings; they are vibrant hubs
of learning and connection. Our range of customisable products allow schools to maximise their available space with flexible layouts and solutions, all while providing comfort and accessibility. Our systems have gained growing popularity in South Australian schools for a reason: the demand for versatile, adaptable and user-friendly seating is on the rise.
