The folding arms for the handicapped are an optional arm that allows easier access to the chair for the handicapped person.

• What are my options for the layout and distribution of the seats?
The layout and distribution of seats will be defined according to the design of space. If for example the space was built on a radius, the seats will be installed in the same way, they cannot be located in straight rows. If the space is rectangular instead, then the seats should be installed in straight rows. It is suggested to take into account these recommendations, otherwise the comfort, visual and circulation might be compromised.
