Description Technical data

The James S. Brady Press Briefing Room at The White House was refurbished in 2007 to seat up to 49 reporters. Our model Flame was the choice to equip this press room, an elegant high-end seat with beech wood finishes, natural leather with fire barrier and an aluminium pedestal. It also stands out for its acoustic features.

Figueras Renews White House Seating: A Trusted Choice Yet Again

The White House press room now boasts brand-new seats, ready for official briefings. Figueras has undertaken a comprehensive renovation project for the seats used by journalists during government press conferences.

The Press Gallery, initially installed over the Roosevelt swimming pool and situated next to the Rose Garden, stands as an emblematic symbol of prestige and democracy. It serves as a platform for showcasing the most significant events in the President's diplomatic efforts, both on the domestic and international fronts, making it a world-renowned symbol of these important moments.

Figueras previously installed the same seats back in 2007. In total, there are 54 Flame chairs, selected for the original White House renovation by CallistonRTKL Architects. Now, after four sitting presidents and sixteen years later, there's a renewed trust in Figueras' craftsmanship and design to refurbish them once more.

Flame, designed by the renowned architect Filipe Oliveira, is a premium model, known for its elegant, sinuous shapes resembling a candle flame. Crafted with beech wood and faux leather, it features an original aluminum pedestal. Besides ensuring user comfort, the chair stands out for its acoustic properties, and it also incorporates a fire barrier, enhancing safety in the pressroom significantly.

Journalists and officials can now expect a combination of style, comfort, and safety as they anticipate upcoming briefings and historic events. These chairs symbolize the enduring collaboration between Figueras and the USA White House and Government, guaranteeing a reliable and steadfast seating solution for the nation's press corps in the years ahead.
