iFly is an indoor skydiving centre that simulates free-fall conditions in a vertical wind tunnel. The tunnel is capable of powering wind speeds of up to 180 mph and experienced flyers can reach heights of 39ft.
As a popular attraction for group events such as birthdays, corporate events and school trips, there is seating available that surrounds the glass tunnel for visitors to watch their friends and family in full flight! The viewing gallery is also open to the public.
iFly’s Manchester branch was looking for new furniture for the seating area as the fixtures at the time were worn and tired looking. John Rodgers, general manager at iFly commented: “Our previous seating had design limitations that included weak plastic and screws and bolts that came loose and required regular maintenance.”
The general manager found the exact type of chair required on the Trent Furniture website: the Monaco red wicker chair. The woven red wicker on the seats provides a stylish covering to the aluminium frame that offers strength and durability. “The new chairs feel like quality products with welded joints that are strong and will withstand heavy usage in a public area,” explains John.
For a multi-purpose venue, the chairs are an ideal choice and provide flexibility in layout, which matched the needs of the skydiving centre. In total, 30 of the chairs were ordered.
The furniture has added a newness to the space and has received positive comments.
