Waiting Chair Seating Project at Shanghai South Railway Station, China

HEWEI Company has been selected to undertake a comprehensive upgrade of all waiting chairs at Shanghai South Railway Station, China, aiming to create a modern and comfortable waiting environment for passengers. The station's previous stainless steel chairs were prone to deformation under high passenger flow, resulting in a limited lifespan. Additionally, the metal material posed potential risks such as injury to children during play and damage to passengers' clothing or personal belongings. Considering durability, maintenance costs, aesthetics, and practicality, HEWEI was chosen to execute this station-wide modernization project.

How The HEWEI 's public waiting chairs enhance The Shanghai South Railway Station.

Long-term Durability and High Strength

HEWEI's PU waiting chairs feature an integrated design with a built-in steel frame and polyurethane foam molding, representing a fundamental material advancement over the previous stainless steel seats. These chairs demonstrate exceptional durability and a strong capacity to withstand high passenger flow. The seating system has undergone rigorous testing, including 20,000 cycles of abrasion resistance.

As of our 2025 follow-up inspection at Shanghai South Railway Station, the chairs remain structurally sound, with surface color retention and overall quality performing excellently. Consequently, HEWEI's waiting chairs are highly suitable for long-term use in high-traffic public spaces. Their time-tested reliability not only reduces long-term costs for clients but also enhances the comfort and quality of the station environment.

Ease of Cleaning and Maintenance

HEWEI's waiting chairs not only retain the inherent advantages of polyurethane, such as waterproofing, stain resistance, and antibacterial properties, but also incorporate the proprietary HEWEI Invisible Armor Coating. This advanced process enhances stain and bacteria resistance by 70% and effectively addresses the common industry issue of color fading in PU seats. With significantly improved anti-stain performance, the chairs demonstrate strong resistance to various common public-area contaminants, making cleaning and maintenance exceptionally convenient and substantially reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Aesthetics and Comfort

HEWEI waiting chairs offer customizable seat firmness to optimally match client requirements and venue specifications. The PU material provides a soft, warm touch—unlike the cold feel of wood or metal—ensuring a superior seating experience. Furthermore, HEWEI's mature PU production technology delivers a premium texture and sophisticated appearance, elevating the overall spatial aesthetic of Shanghai Station.

Eco-Friendliness and Broad Applicability

The brand chosen for Shanghai Station reflects its image. HEWEI waiting chairs, which do not use animal leather, represent a more environmentally conscious choice. Many high-quality PU waiting chairs also comply with relevant environmental and fire safety standards. Public seating must be an "all-rounder"—capable of withstanding intensive use, meeting high hygiene requirements, and fitting within budget constraints. Therefore, high-quality HEWEI waiting chairs are exceptionally well-suited for public spaces.
