Oray ONE

Oray ONE, the motorised, modular cinema seat

A single seat to start with, a row of four a few years later: the cinema seat from Oray assembles component by component and grows along with the room. Each seat has its own motor and remote control. Its backrest reclines without moving backwards, allowing the seat to be positioned against the back wall.

Rows that grow one seat at a time

The ONE consists of two components: the seat, 57 cm wide, and the armrest, 16.5 cm wide, which separates two seats and finishes each end of a row. An individual chair measures 90 cm wide, a two-seat row 1.64 m, a three-seat row 2.37 m and a four-seat row 3.11 m. The duo version removes the central armrest: the two seats touch and the bench measures just 1.47 m, for two people to sit side by side. To add a seat to an existing row, all you need is an additional seat and armrest, without replacing anything already installed.

A single motor for the backrest and leg rest

On each seat, one motor moves the backrest and leg rest at the same time. Pressing the remote control takes you from a seated to a reclined position, and each viewer adjusts their seat without disturbing their neighbour. As the two movements are linked, you cannot recline the backrest without raising the leg rest. In return, the mechanism remains simple. The backrest reclines into the chair rather than moving backwards: no space is needed behind it, the ONE can be placed against the back wall, and in a small room the centimetres saved put the viewer that much further from the screen. However, space must be left in front, as the depth increases from 100 cm when closed to 170 cm when reclined. The height is 105 cm, the same dimensions as the brand’s POP model.

Okoumé, solid beech and welded steel

The mechanism is made of welded steel, meaning it is assembled by welding. The seat frame is cut from 30 mm thick okoumé plywood, a lightweight, stable wood. The backrest and supporting frame combine 15 mm okoumé plywood with solid beech crosspieces. The ONE is supplied as a kit: the separate components fit through a doorway or up a staircase much more easily than an already assembled row. A seat weighs 35 kg and an armrest 15 kg; two people are enough to carry them into the room and assemble them on site.

A different foam for each support area

The seat bears most of the weight. It is padded with 43 kg/m³ high-resilience foam: high-resilience foam quickly regains its shape after being compressed, and a high density helps it retain its support over the years. The backrest uses a lighter, 26 kg/m³ high-resilience foam, and the armrests a 24 kg/m³ polyether foam. All the foams carry the CertiPUR label, which regulates their chemical composition and volatile organic compound emissions.

Seven velvet

The upholstery is a knitted polyester velvet weighing 420 g per linear metre, piece-dyed and treated to repel water, moisture and dirt. Its abrasion resistance exceeds 100,000 Martindale cycles. This test rubs the fabric until it wears out, and this result far exceeds the requirements of everyday home use. For pilling, meaning the formation of small bobbles on the surface, it achieves a rating of 4–5 on a scale of 5, almost the highest score.
