Design and Seat Preferences in Conference Halls by Country
Conference hall design is not just a technical engineering activity. It is also a whole system shaped by sociological, cultural, geographical and economic dynamics. When you try to implement the same project in different countries, the hall must belong to that country not only structurally but also spiritually. Each of the elements such as seat model, fabric preference, living room floor, lighting systems and color palettes reflect the habits and expectations of that society. We will examine in detail the main differences we encounter. Conference Hall Approach in European Countries

3. Conference Hall Approach in African Countries
Seat Preference: Cleanliness, Durability and Cost
In Africa, seat preference is determined mostly by climate and ease of maintenance. External factors such as dust, temperature and humidity are directly effective.
Plastic cover seats are common. It offers both easy-to-clean and economical solutions.
Vinyl or leather-looking PVC coatings are preferred instead of fabric.

Conference Hall design does not have a universal structure. Each country's climate, cultural habits, economic realities and aesthetic understanding are different. These differences are directly reflected in every detail, from the seat to the floor, from the light to the layout. Therefore, a model implemented successfully in one country may create problems both technically and socially in another country. Companies that can analyze these cultural differences and put them into practice technically in international projects can achieve truly sustainable success. Information
