Decor and the design of theatres and halls
BoxTech began as joinery. Decor here is not a curtain added later. It is what surrounds the seat: timber, low light and the way in.
The photographs are from halls where BoxTech seats already sit. Decor is measured against them, not against a furniture fair.
