Figueras Seating, a key global player in seating projects for collective spaces, has opened its first showroom in the United States, located in New York City.
The space, launched in collaboration with A-Metro, is situated in the heart of Manhattan at 200 Lexington Avenue. It has been designed to become a meeting point and source of inspiration for architects, designers, consultants, and industry professionals seeking innovative, high-performance solutions for auditoriums, corporate headquarters, theaters, cinemas, stadiums, and arenas.
During the opening event, José Manuel Santiago, CEO of Figueras said: “Figueras entered the U.S. market 20 years ago, a strategic market for our company. Having a local presence in New York goes beyond a statement of intent: it allows us to strengthen relationships with industry professionals and supports them on their most ambitious projects.”
Over the years, the Spanish brand has contributed to emblematic projects such as the White House Press Briefing Room, The Comerica Park Stadium (home of the Detroit Tigers), Hard Rock Stadium (home of the Miami Dolphins), the McCosh 50 lecture hall at Princeton University, the Victoria Theater in Harlem, and the Five Below corporate auditorium in Philadelphia, among others.
The showroom features a curated selection of Figueras’ iconic products and solutions, including Gaudí, Scala Flex, Virtus, and the Mutawheel system.
