Seating and Upholstery Refurbishment
We refurbish theatre, cinema and conference seating, along with the upholstery of balustrades, box parapets and other interior elements of the auditorium. Results comparable to new seats at a fraction of the cost.
What we solve
Upholstered seats are among the most heavily used elements of any auditorium. Years of use wear down the upholstery fabric, degrade the foam padding, damage the timber parts and corrode the metal frames. The result is not only a shabbier-looking hall, but also lower visitor comfort and higher ongoing repair costs.
For whom
Theatres, cinemas, cultural centres and multipurpose halls. Refurbishment is the ideal choice for operators who want to significantly improve visitor comfort and modernise the look of the hall while making economical use of existing equipment.
Solution
We carry out complete refurbishments of theatre, cinema and conference seating, including related work throughout the hall. We design every project individually so the result matches the character of the building, the investor's requirements and the available budget.
Result
A representative auditorium with comfort that meets today's standards, without having to invest in a complete seat replacement.
Refurbishment as an alternative to replacement
A complete seat replacement is often unnecessary. In most cases, good-quality original frames can be professionally refurbished to a result that matches new seats in appearance, comfort and service life. The same approach can restore the upholstery of other interior elements, such as balustrades, upholstered box parapets or other decorative and protective features of cultural halls.

A representative-looking auditorium
Our goal isn't just to refurbish individual seats, but to restore a representative look to the whole hall — one that visitors notice the moment they walk in.
Our projects
Seat and upholstery refurbishments in theatres and cinemas across the Czech Republic.
Kotva Cinema, České Budějovice
Completed July 2026
At the Kotva cinema we gave the seats a genuine second life. During the refurbishment of the cinema in Blansko the old seats were dismantled and moved to their new home in České Budějovice. We cleaned them, repaired the supporting frames and installed them at the Kotva, where they will serve until the full refurbishment of the auditorium planned for 2030. Along with the seats we laid new carpets, and the seats were given embroidered headrests in the style of aircraft seating.
Oskar Nedbal Theatre, Tábor — small hall
Seat and upholstery refurbishment
The small hall of the Oskar Nedbal Theatre is a historic space with boxes and stucco decoration. Its seats and upholstered elements are undergoing a refurbishment that respects the hall's original appearance.
Ostrov Culture and Creative Centre
Refurbishment of the existing seats
New seats are not our only speciality. The theatre hall in Ostrov underwent a careful refurbishment in which we supplied a new carpet and restored the existing seats. They were given new padding and new covers, and the timber parts of each seat were tended to as well.
Znojmo Municipal Theatre
Upholstery of boxes and balcony, decorative drapes
Besides sewing new decorative window drapes, we replaced and refurbished the upholstery of the walls and of the balustrades of the boxes and the main balcony. Restoring the boxes also involved stucco work and repainting.
