Folding Chair EVENT 010 for Professional Events

A folding chair built for professional event use, the BHS EVENT 010 combines portability with a clean, modern design. The chair folds flat when not in use, allowing it to be stored in tight spaces or transported easily between venues. When set up, it provides a stable seating surface that supports guests throughout long events without requiring permanent installation or bulky frames.

The principle behind a folding chair is simple: a hinged frame collapses along its joints, reducing its footprint to a fraction of its open size. This design allows multiple chairs to be stacked vertically, one on top of the other, without taking up floor space. The EVENT 010 uses this system to stack up to thirty chairs in a single column, making it practical for venues that need to clear space quickly between functions or store seating off-site.

To use the chair, the operator unfolds the frame until the legs lock into place, creating a rigid structure. The seat and backrest, formed from a single piece of polypropylene, provide a continuous surface that distributes weight evenly. Once unfolded, the chair is ready to seat a guest; when the event ends, the process is reversed: the chair is lifted, the legs folded inward, and the unit stacked with others of the same model.

The EVENT 010 is constructed from durable polypropylene, a material chosen for its resistance to impact and moisture. The white finish gives a neutral appearance that blends with most event themes, while the high-density foam padding on the seat adds comfort without adding significant weight. The chair measures 440 mm in depth, 470 mm in width and 780 mm in height when open, a size that suits most adult users while remaining compact enough to store in a van or cupboard.

The chair weighs 5.0 kg, light enough for staff to carry multiple units at once, yet heavy enough to remain stable on a variety of floor surfaces. No controls are fitted; the chair is operated entirely by unfolding and folding the frame.

In practice, the 5.0 kg weight means the chair can be moved by a single person without strain, while the 440 mm depth and 470 mm width provide a seating area that accommodates most guests comfortably. The 780 mm height allows the chair to fit under standard event tables, and the stackable design means thirty chairs occupy the same floor space as one when stored.

Cleaning is straightforward: the polypropylene surface can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild detergent, and the foam padding resists staining from food and drink spills. No disassembly is required, and the chair can be returned to use immediately after drying.

The EVENT 010 is available in white, with other colour options listed separately in the BHS catalogue under the same model range. It is placed in the Events and Catering Furniture section, alongside tables, staging and portable bars designed for temporary setups.
