Who we are – and why we do it
Behind STADICHAIR is a small team that loves sports, especially football and stadiums – but also design, sustainability, and good ideas with substance.
We believe in products with a story. In honest materials. And in people who don't have to follow every trend.
What we do, we do ourselves. And preferably with partners from the region.

Started from the Bottom
Everything started with a simple question: What do you do with an old stadium seat shell?
One of the founders had discovered a stadium seat at a club flea market in the stadium and couldn't resist taking it with him. At home, the crucial question arose: What now?
The answer was simple and brilliant: One builds a chair! With the support of his grandpa and father, the first prototype was created – originally just for personal use.

Encouragement, Further Development & the Founding
The first STADICHAIR was very well received by friends and acquaintances. They loved the idea and quickly made it clear: There's potential in that!
The original design was revised and optimized to make it more functional and even more attractive. This created the foundation for an exceptional product.
With the conviction of having created something unique, the STADICHAIR idea became a company. The vision was clear:Giving old stadium seat shells new life– sustainable, stylish, and emotional.

ZDF documentary
In the summer of 2024, ZDF accompanied the installation of new seats at the Bielefeld Alm and the Bremer Brücke – side by side with STADISEAT. The collaboration resulted in an impressive documentary, which was broadcast on November 16 in the series "Plan B." It showcased our closed recycling process, which almost completely reuses old stadium seats – a strong statement for sustainable stadium modernization.

Realignment of the company - After five years of STADICHAIR, we take stock:
We were not able to inspire as many clubs for our idea as we had hoped. Unfortunately, sustainability is still a secondary concern for many in professional football – often margin and speed are what matter.
That's why we're realigning: with a new shop, a clearer focus, and more space for design, emotion, and people who value genuine products.
The STADICHAIR remains – but from now on it speaks a new language.
