Quinette Gallay is a French specialist in audience seating. The company was founded in 1947. Production takes place at a 5,000 square metre manufacturing facility near Paris. Since May 2014, Quinette Gallay has been part of the Japanese Kotobuki Group. The group also includes Ferco Seating and Audience Systems (both UK) and K+ Seating (Barcelona). The brand operates in over 150 countries.
The product portfolio addresses concert and opera houses, congress centres, cinemas, multipurpose halls, lecture theatres and sports arenas. Alongside standard models, Quinette Gallay develops bespoke seating systems — including telescopic platforms and mobile seating solutions. Reference projects include the Royal Opera House in Muscat (993 seats, 2011), the Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik (2011) and the renovation of the Opéra Comique in Paris. The company has also collaborated on a project with Zaha Hadid Architects.
Quinette Gallay is the primary address for architects and project developers who need an experienced, globally active seating specialist for cultural buildings, auditoriums and congress infrastructure — with an in-house design team, the capability for custom solutions, and a documented track record of major projects across five continents.
