London design studio Layer is hoping to make movie theaters safer amid the coronavirus pandemic with its latest invention, a movie theater seat designed for social distancing called the “Sequel Seat.” The architecture and interior design publication Dezeen has a first look at the theater seat, which was designed using the “mid-century pastels” featured in Wes Anderson’s “The Grand Budapest Hotel” in order to give the chair “a connection to the world of cinema.” The Anderson-inspired color palette was also chosen to “distinguish [the chair] from the black and red tones typically seen in cinemas.”
According to Dezeen’s report, the Sequel Seat’s goal is to encourage moviegoers to return to movie theaters by “integrating a series of hygiene features into its fabric and structure.” The fabric on the seat is “knitted from antibacterial copper threads” and “integrates fibers impregnated with copper oxide, granting it antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal properties.
