Encore Seating

Designed by Chris Panichella, the range offers backless units and models with backrests, available individually or in coordinated modular arrangements.
Choose a shape and back style first, then its exact size or corner orientation. All seats are 17.5 inches high. Straight backless benches are 24, 48 or 56 inches wide; straight backed benches are 24 or 48 inches wide. Corners and wedges have different overall footprints, shown beside their model selections.
