Locus | Modern Commercial Cinema / Entertainment Center/ Auditorium and Concert Hall
The TSI Locus Series combines functionality with subtle elegance, featuring simple yet attractive lines. Designed to maximize seating space, its slim frame allows theatre operators to increase capacity without sacrificing comfort or proper egress space. Equipped with integrated cup-holder armrests and a protective outer shell, Locus is specifically engineered to handle the high-traffic demands of commercial cinema complexes and entertainment centers. Available in fully-upholstered configurations or with optional protective plastic covers for a more economical, vandal-resistant solution, Locus bridges standard theatre seating with modern movie-going convenience.
Key Features & Ergonomics: Deep red fabric upholstery with contoured, channel-detailed backrest; black molded armrests with integrated cup holders; black powder-coated tubular metal frame on pedestal base; torsion spring-based auto tip-up mechanism with synchronized seat-forward-slide and back-recline; high-density molded foam cushions (DOW Chem, 50±5 density); removable zippered fabric covers; fixed high-back design with protective outer shell.
Advantages:
- Beverage Integration: Built-in cup holders provide essential convenience for modern cinema patrons — a baseline expectation for commercial multiplex seating.
- Synchronized Comfort Mechanism: A tested and proven torsion spring-based auto tip-up system, paired with a synchronized seat-forward-slide and back-recline function, delivers smooth, natural movement that adjusts to the occupant during long films.
- High-Traffic Protection: The protective outer shell shields the backrest from scuffs and kicks in dark auditoriums — a practical, cinema-specific advantage where patrons frequently brush past seats in low light.
- Maximized Seating Capacity: The slim frame design increases seating density without compromising comfort or egress space — ideal for high-density cinema layouts and multi-screen complexes.
- Superior Cushion Longevity: High-density molded foam cushions made by DOW Chemical are engineered for longer product life and consistent comfort under heavy daily screenings.
- Custom Aesthetics: Vibrant fabric options allow the chair to match individual cinema brand identities and theatre color schemes.
- Vandal-Resistant Options: Protective plastic seat and back covers (Locus D4) offer a durable, cost-efficient alternative to full upholstery for high-traffic or public-access cinema environments.
- Easy Maintenance: Removable, zippered fabric covers allow for fast on-site cleaning or replacement — a real advantage in cinemas dealing with spilled drinks and food.
- Aisle Safety: A reliable tip-up seat mechanism maintains clear, compliant walkways between screenings.
