Description
Knowing what type of seating to choose for a client can be a challenge, especially if the client presents with complex body shapes that doesn’t fit into linear off the shelf seating. The difficulties that COVID has added with lack of access to clients and product availabilities and lead times, can also affect decisions. This presentation will give a brief introduction to custom molded seating. You will be presented with examples of successfully using innovative custom seating systems with different clients.
