Gate & Hold Room Seating

Agati's gate and hold room seating range addresses the tension that standard beam seating cannot resolve: packing maximum seats into a constrained gate footprint while giving each passenger a functional, comfortable wait. The flagship product in this category is the Departures collection, a modular system available in angled or straight-seat linear runs. The angled configuration offsets adjacent seats so passengers are never placed in direct face-to-face alignment, reducing psychological crowding without expanding the per-seat floor area. Each seat position includes its own dedicated table — in stone or laminate — with power and USB outlets integrated into the table fascia, so device charging does not require a shared bar.

In addition to Departures, the range encompasses the Gee Aviation Series — modular lounge chairs configurable into straight lines, pinwheel clusters, and curved runs, with integrated granite-top tables and power at every position. The pinwheel arrangement places occupants in outward-facing orientations, each with private tablespace, making it well suited to large-format gate holds at hub airports where a mix of solo travellers, couples, and small groups must be accommodated in a single zone. Vera Modular and Orb Cluster configurations extend the family for gates that require a lounge aesthetic rather than a dense seat-count.

Construction throughout uses a component architecture: seats, arms, and panels are individually replaceable, and the pass-through gaps around each unit allow cleaning equipment access without disassembly. All products are manufactured in the USA and carry a ten-year warranty. For GCC airports, where passenger volumes at single gates can run several hundred per turn and ambient temperatures demand materials that do not degrade under sustained HVAC cycling, the metal-leg, upholstered-panel construction is a proven specification choice.
