The Irwin Difference
For 100 years, Irwin Seating Company’s sole focus has been on meeting our customers’ needs for public seating solutions. We achieve this through innovative design, by manufacturing the industry’s most durable products, and by providing unmatched ser-vice before, during, and after the installation of a project. Everyone at Irwin Seating Company is focused on quality, continuous improvement and customer satis-faction. This commitment is what the Irwin Difference is all about and why we are the world’s lead-ing supplier of theatre seating.
We recognize the importance of stewardship and understand the delicate balance between aes-thetics, durability and comfort. Our expertise will help to take care of the physical details of the seating so the audience is free to enjoy the performance.
We start by asking questions and listening to our customers’ requirements to gain an under-standing of their unique needs. We provide design consultation for seating layout, chair customi-zation and offer sight line studies and ADA recommendations to ensure an unencumbered experi-ence by all. We offer luxurious fabrics, fine furniture finishing and an unequalled number of backs, seats and aisle end panels that can be customized to fit the needs of any type of theatre.
We coordinate installation with the construction contractor using factory certified installers and offer full chair restoration services to return old, worn chairs to their original beauty. Talk with your Irwin Seating company rep-resentative today and experience the Irwin Difference.

Chair RestorationRestoration is an excellent way to maintain the original design of an auditorium or theatre and is often the best solution when compliance with modern building codes is a concern. Chair restoration is also an out-standing way to practice environmental stewardship. Often, the best solution is a mix of new and original components and with 100 years of experience the Irwin Difference can help to bridge the gap between new and old.
