Insights from our experts and news from the industry

A retractable grandstand (also known as a telescopic stand) is a type of stand used in multi-purpose sports, cultural and educational buildings to make a hall multifunctional for different users and applications. The structure is designed to take up minimal space when fully retracted. When extended, visitors can be seated with a good view of the stage or playing field.

Deze zomer wordt de Studiozaal voorzien van nieuwe, comfortabele theaterstoelen op inschuifbare tribunes. De huidige (stapelbare en koppelbare) stoelen zijn daarom klaar om aan een functie elders te beginnen. De stoel is voorzien van armleggers, gestoffeerde rugleuning en zitting in een hoogwaardige projectkwaliteit en heeft een verchroomd onderstel met 4 poten. De stoelen zijn stapelbaar tot circa 13 stuks hoog.

Today, we celebrate World Theatre Day, a moment to embrace the magic of theatre and recognize its power in our society! As designers and producers of telescopic seating solutions for both small and large cultural venues, we contribute to creating unforgettable theater experiences.

The Congress of the Netwerk Lokaal Sportbeleid edition 2024 will take place on Wednesday 20 and Thursday 21 April at the ICC in Ghent. This year's congress theme is "On track for success".
Team COS is looking forward meeting you at stand 45 were we present our latest innovation: the retractable grandstand without wheels!
