Called Sequel, it is woven from antibacterial copper wire coated with "Mid-Century Pastel"

the film.

The sequel seat is a premium cinema seat designed to encourage people to return to the cinema after the festival.

The pandemic is achieved by integrating a series of sanitary functions into its structure and fabric.

The studio said this includes a 3D woven fabric upholstery that integrates fibers impregnated with copper oxide to give it antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties.

In addition to being anti-fouling and waterproof, this interior is also designed to eliminate gaps that may be used as dust collectors.

The seats in the sequel of the sequel use light pink and blue soft tones, reminiscent of Wes Anderson (Wes Anderson) movies, such as "Budapest Hotel".

This makes the seat “connected to the movie world” and distinguishes it from the black and red tones common in movie theaters.

The seats are modular and can be arranged in rows of any length required to suit different cinema sizes and configurations.

LED lights project the row number on the floor and are also embedded in the headrest to display the seat number and the name of the person who made the reservation to avoid accidental violation of social distancing measures by sitting in the wrong seat.

The headrest also includes integrated speakers to create an "immersive audio experience" for the viewer.

Each seat has a protective screen that can be used to provide a barrier between each member of the audience. These are movable, making the design more adaptable when such measures are no longer needed.

"It is currently estimated that due to the pandemic, the global box office may lose $10 billion." "The sequel seats provide an opportunity for movie theaters to change the cinematic experience of movie audiences and respond to these challenges in a meaningful way."

"We believe that products like Sequel Seat will play a key role in encouraging people to return to the cinema," the Layer founder added

.

He continued: “In today’s rapidly evolving entertainment environment, it’s vital that cinemas have to provide a significantly different experience from the growing streaming media market.”

"The sequel seat is a tool that provides enhanced comfort and basic safety features, which will help the cinema define itself as a safe place to transport moviegoers to another world."

Other features include a rotatable side table made of polymer with cup holders and dishes and space for food.

Each seat can be tilted or fully extended using the control panel in the armrest, which can also be used to adjust the lumbar support and control the temperature of the seat.

The space formed by the inverted V shape connecting the armrests is used as a storage unit for bags and jackets, and items are placed in the aisle to avoid any accidents.

The built-in UV lamp can sterilize items when they are placed indoors using ultraviolet germicide (UVGI), which the studio described as "lethal" to microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria.

The rear of each seat also includes an ultraviolet lamp, which is used to sterilize the seat behind the seat between movie screenings.

Layer has previously designed smart seat concepts for cars and airlines.

It is composed of two rows of eight S-shaped seats, which face in opposite directions to maximize the privacy of everyone.

Equipped with a smart textile, passengers can use their mobile phones to monitor and control the status of their seats.
