Description
Overview
Kompass is an auditorium seat designed by EOOS for Poltrona Frau. The manufacturer describes understated lines and a special closing mechanism that orders individual seats into a compact architectural sequence.

Contract specification
The frame combines metal and wood. Polyurethane forms the padding, elastic belts provide the springing, and anti-noise nylon is used at the automatic folding seat's joints. Poltrona Frau names Color System leather, fabric and velvet as upholstery categories and specifies straight or curved row installation on a powder-coated metal foot.
Story
Ordered rows
Kompass is conceived around the repeated row rather than as a domestic standalone armchair. Its folding action allows the seat elements to close into a consistent rhythm.
EOOS approach
Poltrona Frau credits EOOS and calls Kompass the epitome of minimalism for auditorium seating. The official description connects its understated lines and closing mechanism with a compact, ordered architecture.
