How many seats in geffen playhouse

The fabric is polyester, crafted to look like short hair velour, which Jones said evokes the formality of film premieres. The architects rotated the orientation of the fabric so the fibers would direct light downward, away from the screen. This one — it allows people of varying sizes to be comfortable in the chair. The look: A plush, premiere-worthy chair that evokes Old Hollywood glamour.

If it were a suit, Jones said, it would be a tuxedo. The seats also match the color of the floor and the walls, a uniformity that is a nod to the building itself. The color: Was there really any choice? Red-carpet red was decided in a snap — chosen immediately from just two fabric swatches. The deep scarlet is contemporary-looking but also a tie to the past, Jones said.

But when we brought the red carpet into the theater and the red up onto the walls, it started to become something special. And in that way, it kind of evokes the theater palaces that you had in the silent film era.

The construction: The David Geffen Theater seats were more challenging to construct partly because the theater is larger and more complicated. In this way, the audience focus is always on the center of the screen. The seats are also removable so that when special events are held there, such as Oscar nominations , the space can be reconfigured, with sunken pits for journalists and cameras.

The filling, a polyether foam, has slightly more give than the Ted Mann Theater seats, and the red seats are an inch thinner. The armrests are the most cushiony, using less-dense foam so they have more give. The fabric is the same as in the Ted Mann Theater. How do you clean an story-high glass dome?
