Setting new standards with ­upcycling and recycling

STADICHAIR and STADISEAT create a sustainable cycle

Decommissioned stadium chairs are now being given a new lease of life: STADICHAIR and STADISEAT work hand in glove when it comes to upcycling and recycling. Stadium seating shells that are still intact are upgraded into stadium chairs that make them cult objects for fans. Damaged stadium seating shells are ­gran­­u­­­­­­­lated and used in the production of new stadium seating shells, which are then reinstalled in the stadium. Stadium chair sales can thus contribute to the refinancing of a conversion project. The comprehensive service provided by STADICHAIR and STADISEAT goes a long way towards sustainability.

Founder Jonas Braamt built the first prototype of a STADI­CHAIR back in 2018. At a flea market of the football club Arminia Bielefeld, he was able to lay his hands on an old stadium seating shell from the Alm football ground. With his family‘s help he made it into a chair, but it took two years of fine-tuning the design before the new business idea was put into practice. Since then, the company has been producing stadium chairs sustainably and regionally in East Westphalia. The company has since developed a support frame for almost any stadium seating shell and sells the combinations as chairs or bar stools. 

Upcycling instead of disposal

Sustainability is writ large at STADICHAIR. Until now, sta­dium seating shells have had to be disposed of as hazardous waste. As upcycled fan products, the company gives them a second life as fully functional chairs for your very own home. The company also attaches great importance to sustainability and re­gional sourcing in its choice of suppliers. The goal is a high-grade German quality product. The suppliers therefore all come from East Westphalia, thus resulting in short delivery routes. The chair legs, for example, are crafted by a carpenter in the region from FSC-certified wood waste. 

Sport is fuelled by emotion

Emotion is a key factor at STADICHAIR. Every fan and season ticket holders especially are familiar with the emotional attachment to their seats. They‘ve been through a lot in this seat: the legendary derby victory, the championship or promotion, but also bitter defeats and even relegation. STADI­CHAIR has the solution that brings these emotions into your own four walls.
