Maxim Velcovsky and Jakub Berdych of Qubus Studio have given the Czech Republic's St. Bartholomew's church a bold interior makeover simply by treating the seating. White Panton chairs with custom cross cut-outs replace rigid pews, and Eames Shell chairs with Eiffel tower bases take center stage. With pop-styling like this, who could possibly fall asleep during mass?

The chair in the picture is not a chair by Eames, but "Panton Chair" (1960) by Verner Panton.
Oddly, this is exactly the opposite of a problem I have been trying to puzzle through.
I think that multi-use spaces that get used as chapels suffer for the lack of pews, which reinforce the feeling of a service and create a different sense of community. Unfortunately, most multi-use spaces don't have pews because pews don't stack.
So, I've been trying to figure out how to create movable, storable pews.
And, here, they've gone and replaced pews with stackable chairs.
