The Original Evacuation Chair

The Original Evacuation Chair – Traditional Design, Modern Ease

The Original is the leading traditional-style evacuation chair for organisations seeking reliability, simplicity and enhanced comfort. Designed to seamlessly match existing evacuation chairs, it maintains the familiar format while offering improved ergonomics and smoother operation.
