A BASINGSTOKE manufacturer which provided Westminster Abbey with more than 2,000 chairs will see them used in the Coronation.

On Saturday, May 6, the Coronation of Charles III will take place at Westminster Abbey in London.

During the historic ceremony, all guests will take their seats on Dutch-made chairs.

Casala, based on Wade Road in Basingstoke, provided Westminster Abbey with 2,200 Curvy chairs with Zifra digital chair numbering in 2016.

The Curvy wooden chair is a functional chair that perfectly matches the architecture and atmosphere of the Abbey on an aesthetic level.

The Zifra digital display in the backrest with row and seat numbering makes it easy for guests to find the right seat. Especially for Westminster Abbey, the Curvy chair features several customised options. 

Casala worked in collaboration with Westminster Abbey for two years on the specifications of the chosen Curvy chair variant.

The seat and back are made of oak veneer and lacquered with a stain colour resistant to candle wax. Zifra chair numbering is placed on the inside of the back of the chairs. The outside of the backrest is laser-engraved with the Westminster Abbey crest.
