Naturally dynamic seating for airports and train stations
The Metro seating system features a seamless design with both curved and straight wooden modules, complemented by a wide range of accessories such as tables, integrated power and planters. This flexibility allows architects and operators to create bespoke layouts that improve passenger flow, reduce congestion and maximise usable space in airports, transport hubs and busy public environments.
Metro’s low-profile design maximises visibility of the surrounding built environment, making it ideal for open public spaces such as airports, train stations and transport hubs. Crafted from durable materials and finished in a natural colour palette, Metro combines long-lasting strength with a contemporary aesthetic that complements any architectural setting. We have recently added an laminate finish to the range suitable for exterior use. Select from our range of standard modules to create a bespoke configuration perfectly tailored to fit your space. Designed for longevity, you can easily reconfigure seating runs to match your changing needs. All components are simple to remove and replace, maximising Metro’s life span.
Straight
Linear modules are available in standard lengths and bespoke sizes. They can be used to form part of a larger configuration or as individual benches.
Long Curve
Angled seat slats produce a gentle sweeping curve creating dynamic seating runs. Available in convex and concave formats.
Short Curve
Use as part of a larger run or combine multiples to create circular island units. Available in concave and convex formats.
Straight Backless Bench
A bi-directional bench available in standard lengths and bespoke sizes. Ideal for use on platforms and concourses.
Long Curve Backless Bench
Available in convex and concave formats. The subtle 30° curve makes it easy to create dynamic seating runs that flow within the built environment.
Short Curve Backless Bench
Use the short curve bench to
make tighter turns in your seating run. Mix concave and convex formats to create dynamic layouts.
Accessories:
Arm
Standard seat slats can be replaced with a dual-purpose arm and work-surface. This can be specified at order or retrofitted to suit future needs.
Planters
Designed to match Metro, these are finished in the same wood and can be fixed to the frame to create linked breaks in long runs. Also available standalone.
Floor Fixing
Every leg comes with the option to floor fix as standard. We recommend floor fixing for configurations using less than four modules.
Back Options
Metro is bi-directional with or without a back. With a back, it becomes a perch seating. This unique feature ensures that single large runs don’t block usable space.
Power Options:
Arm Power
Integrated charging modules can be positioned on armrests, exactly where the user requires them. Power is available under the seat on backless benches.
Wireless Charging
Positioned under the armrest, 15w wireless charging modules provide the user with a simple way to charge on the go. Can be installed in tandem with arm power.
Under Seat Power
We recommend arm power for optimal usability. For modules that do not feature armrest tables, we offer under seat power as an alternative.
PRM Options:
Designed for all users, Metro’s seat height is compatible with the requirements for PRM seating. We offer badging to signpost areas for priority seating.
