Concept Seating was born out of necessity in 1988, when a Wisconsin police officer designed a seat to relieve back pain caused by long hours in a squad car. From that first patented design with its signature gun-belt cutout, the company grew to pioneer ergonomic, heavy-duty seating built for 24/7 use.
Today, Concept Seating chairs—engineered for comfort, durability, and human-centered design—support dispatchers, control room operators, public safety professionals, and industries worldwide.
