GUARANTEED TIPS WHEN CHOOSING A CHURCH SEATING

Answering the following 6 questions will make your decision easier.

DO YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC IDEA?
We can produce anything for you, just send us a design. If you need to save time and energy, take a look at our ready-made designs of ZOE range.
WE KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU.
Several designs and solutions for the church seating have passed through our fingers. Client satisfaction is a sufficient guarantee that we try to approach each order individually. We take into account the specific needs of a specific space and client. Therefore, we will advise you on the most suitable alternative.
DO YOU HAVE YOUR OWN CHURCH FURNITURE DESIGN?
Send it to us by e-mail and we will consult it with you and advise the most suitable way. It is necessary to keep in mind that not everything designed is feasible, functional and comfortable. We applied the experience gained during the development of church pews in our ready-made ZOE designs.
THE CORE IS NOT ONLY DESIGN, BUT ALSO COMFORT AND FUNCTIONALITY.
Several benefits in the form of accessories: desk, hook, kneeler, upholstery, stackability, connectivity - all of this brings a lot of functionality. Thanks to connectivity, it is possible to create a one-piece pew from separate ZOE church chairs. The stackability of the pews will save space when needed.
DOES YOUR SEATING DESIGN INCLUDE A 90° BACKREST ANGLE, SEAT OR KNEELER?
90° angles are not the best option for comfy seating. This also applies in the case of the backrest and the seat, because such an angle of curvature of the seat is not healthy for the spine and the overall sitting is then very uncomfortable. In the case of a kneeler with a 90° angle and a sharp edge, rounding of the edge is necessary. This will ensure significantly more comfortable kneeling. Our ZOE pews have undergone extensive development and testing. We really care about the details.
SEND US YOUR SEATING DESIGN AND WE WILL ENSURE QUALITY AND COMFORT.
Send us your design in the form of a drawing, sketch or 3D visualization. Alternatively, take inspiration from the current offer of ready-made ZOE church pew designs. It is the perfect image of church seating suitable for any historical or modern temple.

Don't you have an idea or a suggestion for the desired church seating?

You can save your time and energy and bet on proven quality. The design of ready-made ZOE church pews is registered by EUIPO. The pews also passed a certified durability test. The latter declares their stability and safety for the user.

Church pews

The name pew refers to a long bench seat used by church members in a church, synagogue, or courtroom. The first stone benches date from the 13th century as they occurred in the English environment. From the side aisles of the temple, the seating gradually reaches the central part of the sacral space. In the 14th century, the stone began to be replaced by wood, which has become the standard in production since the 15th century.

CHURCH BENCHES acquired the status of a permanent element of religious interior only in the era of Protestantism. In some churches they were not the property of temples, but of individual congregates members of the congregation, who signed them with names or family coats of arms and locked them in special boxes. Thus, the benches became hereditary property. In the late Middle Ages and early modern times, their cost often did not demonstrate the equality of people before God, but the social hierarchy of community.

The seating system in pews is still not taken over by the Orthodox Church. In other Christian and Jewish communities, CHURCH PEWS are replaced by metal or wooden chairs for easier handling. The dual use of the product as a CHURCH CHAIR and at the same time as a CHURCH PEW has become a challenge for the company CONFER s.r.o.

Specification

CHURCH CHAIRS from CONFER s.r.o. are designed so that they can be easily transformed into the CHURCH BENCH system as needed, but according to preference they can also be used separately, with the required distance between the seats

● Their connectivity to horizontal lines is ensured by a discrete magnetic (non-rusting) system with high retention force, built into the side lines of the seating part

● The model is designed so that the CHURCH PEW looks symmetrical, without disturbing the space around. The fluidity of the lines also allows a small child to sit in the inter-space, without feeling uncomfortable

● Maximum accuracy of production processes guarantees maintaining straight rows and columns without optical disorganization at all times

● The customer adjusts the length of the CHURCH PEWS as needed

● CHURCH CHAIRS are easily detachable and stackable

● When stacking (up to 5 pieces), a minimum gap is created between the chairs, which ensures the lowest possible stack height. This company idea supports maximum space saving, but at the same time the stability of the stack during storage and transport

● The stacking system is treated with protective elements that are discreetly placed on the contact surfaces on the legs of the chairs. The protection of upholstery, which do not touch during stacking, is also secured

● When ordering a larger number of CHURCH CHAIRS, the supplier provides a free barrow - a trolley for their stacking and moving.

Story

Preparing for confirmation is always associated with a pleasant expectation for the young pastor and his wife. They observe in young people of congregation the desire for Christian maturity, but they also see the joy of community that preparation provides them.

Both spouses have a sense of order and purity, but when young people come to the temple, it is necessary to arrange the space as needed, flexibly create nooks for group work, sometimes arrange sessions in a circle and then re-arrange everything in the lines of church pews for a dignified course of God's service.

Young people from the community playfully manage the reorganization, and girls also like to help with advice. The chairs are easy to handle, the space is scented by the smell of the wood, everyone feels useful.

In addition to chairs, our two-seater church benches are also noteworthy. These portable church pews offer versatility, allowing easy adaptation of the space to accommodate various activities and providing comfortable seating for congregants during worship services.

The temple is in a state of flux for a moment, but just in a while it again becomes the place of divine peace - exactly as amplitudes alternate in human life.

Verified abroad as well

Our church pews already proudly provide seating for believers in Germany, Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and other European countries.
