Adjust your position without leaving the chair
The TAO Chair makes fine adjustments simple, even during rehearsals. Three discreet side-mounted winding handles independently control the front legs, rear legs, and seat angle, allowing you to alter your seating position while remaining seated. The mechanism operates smoothly under load, helping you quickly adapt to different instruments, playing techniques, or performance requirements. Once you've finished adjusting, the handles fold neatly into the frame to reduce the risk of damage during transport and storage.
Tailored support for every musician
Every player has their own ideal seating position, and the TAO Chair is built to accommodate it. Independent front and rear height adjustment creates everything from upright seating to elevated, forward-leaning playing positions, while the seat angle adjusts between -7° and +6.5° for added flexibility. A narrow backrest supports the upper lumbar region without restricting movement, and the horizontal seat with downturned front edge helps you keep your feet flat on the floor for improved comfort during extended rehearsals and performances.
Built for demanding performance spaces
Designed for professional venues, the TAO Chair combines long-lasting construction with a clean appearance. The steel and aluminium frame features a textured polyester powder-coated finish alongside anodised aluminium components for excellent durability. Firm, high-density foam and breathable flame-retardant upholstery provide consistent support throughout long sessions, while the integrated adjustment mechanisms maintain a streamlined profile with no bulky external fittings. Standard wood stain, black wood stain, and custom finish options make it easy to match the chair to different performance spaces.
Easy to store and manage
Busy venues need seating that is just as practical behind the scenes as it is on stage. The TAO Chair stacks vertically with up to ten chairs occupying a compact footprint, making storage efficient between events. It's also fully compatible with other RATstands Opera Chair models, allowing adjustable and non-adjustable chairs to stack together in the same storage system. For even easier handling, the chair can be paired with the separately available Opera Chair Trolley or Dolly, helping technicians move large seating setups quickly and safely.
