LAMM products once again chosen for a prestigious University: the classrooms and the Main Lecture Hall of this Campus have been fitted out with E4000 study-benches, which allow for easy and rapid re-organisation of space

 

Humanitas University of Life Sciences is closely linked to the IRCCS Humanitas Research and Teaching Hospital in Rozzano.
The main feature of Humanitas University, where medicine courses are fully taught in English, is the international vocation.
The visiting faculty includes Nobel Prizes for Medicine and internationally renowned researchers.
In addition to the International Medicine course, a Nursing course, also at Bergamo campus, and a Physiotherapy course are available. Lessons take place in the new campus, designed according to the most modern standards of technology and comfort in order to promote opportunities for meetings and exchange among professors, researchers and young students from all over the world. Nowadays, four buildings in an area of 25,000 square metres compose the new complex.
The campus flagship is the Simulation Lab, which includes the Mario Luzzatto Simulation Center and the Anatomy Lab: a highly- technological space of over 2.000 m², one of the largest in Europe, for students, future doctors and healthcare professionals, who can study and train according to different degrees of specialisation and complexity.

LAMM’s involvement in this prestigious project entailed fulfilling the functional requirements and the need for flexibility central to the contract deliverables. By examining the various types of classroom and their locations, it adapted the equipment requirements to the various teaching methodologies and needs, such as face-to-face lectures, group workshops, practicals etc., as well as to the variations in timetable uses required by University courses throughout the academic year in addition to the requirements of Master classes and workshops in the summer.
For the Teaching building and Main Lecture Hall, LAMM installed respectively, 600 and 228 E4000 study-benches (Designers: Lucci and Orlandini); free-standing furniture allowing for quick and easy re-organisation of spaces, and for any type of equipment use.

The E4000 system is the fruit of research into simplifying and rationalising. All the components are practical, hard-wearing and strong, integrating technological and multi-media features, including fine electric ducting underneath the writing tables. The 600 study-benches were supplied with tip-up table tops and were installed in straight and flat rows. In line with client requirements, writing tables were much deeper and the benches were fitted with “anti-tilt” feet to become free-standing, thereby avoiding drilling into the floor.

Finishings were also customised. Metal parts were painted dark grey, whilst the seats, backrests and table tops finishes were Rovere Texas laminates by Abet Laminati.
The remaining 228 seats in the Main Lecture Hall were of the same technical specifications, except for black metal parts, whilst the seats, backrests and table tops laminate finishes were in Rovere America wood, again by ABET.

LAMM has contributed to the realisation of the conference hall at Anangel Maritime Group new headquarters in Athens (Greece) with the supply of Tulip armchairs.

 

The new head office of the biggest Greek maritime group, with its 30.616 m2, is one of the most impressive buildings ever constructed in Athens for the private sector. Designed by the firm Sparch Architects, this ship-like structure with rounded lines consists of two sections, connected with suspension bridges.
A special attention was devoted to the lighting design of workspaces and façades, a project developed by Eleftheria Deko Lighting Design, which won the first prize at the last Darc Awards. In terms of sustainability, the quality of the Athenian structure is also attested by the LEED Platinum certification.

Tulip armchairs by LAMM have been installed in this prestigious context, thanks to the collaboration of the dealer Tsaoussoglou. Conceived by Bartoli Design, Tulip is a conference armchair characterised by the synchronised innovative opening system of seats and armrests and a compact and rounded shape, which facilitates its inclusion in different architectural settings. Chosen in the beam-mounted version and equipped with writing tablets, the armchairs have been arranged in straight rows on steps.

Confirmation as the leader in the conference sector market, LAMM was the chosen supplier for the fit-out of the prestigious auditorium/cinema in the M9 museum complex designed by Sauerbruch Hutton Architects.

 

The guiding concept which inspired the realisation of the M9, the new Mestre museum complex dedicated to 20th Century Italian history, which the Venice Foundation had wanted and promoted, was a concept of immersion in a multimedia experience – travelling into the past, whilst including the present and imagining the future.

The fruit of an international competition won by Sauerbruch Hutton Architects, the M9 represents an important urban regeneration project involving the realisation of three new buildings, the main building dedicated to the museum function, the renovation of a late sixteenth-century ex-convent, and the restructuring of an 1970s head office structure. Inspired by the most innovative of European architectures, the M9 represents a multifunctional structure which far surpasses the traditional concept of a museum, thereby creating an area where new architectures dialogue with historic buildings, breathing life into a sustainable, environmentally-friendly project interwoven into the urban fabric.

 

The main building, characterised by its compact form and its juxtaposition of closed, glass surfaces exalting its colour, is used as a tool to alter the perception of space, in addition to the permanent and temporary exhibition areas which include a 190-seat auditorium.

This auditorium, an important place of communication, was built to host meetings, conventions, shows and film projections and was completed with the installation of LAMM’s Unica armchairs. Designed by the Company’s in-house R&D Team, these armchairs are characterised by comfort, combined with a design that can readily adjust to any applicable context. Having selected the high backrest version with its visible wooden side panels, the armchairs were installed in straight rows across 51cm high steps.

Fitted with a gravity device allowing the seat to be titled with a cushioned movement and with backrests of adjustable inclinations for a perfect view at all times, the armchairs are made from cold-foam expanded polyurethane in black padding, with side panels in black lacquered wood. The right sides of each seat are fitted with a small tip-up and concealable writing tablet, with anti-panic motion, whilst electric sockets and USB ports are located in the lower, easy-to-access parts.
In compliance with specific design requirements, the armchairs were installed in the central area of the auditorium with spacings of 54 and 56 cm whilst spacing of 58 cm was achieved in the side areas.

With its focus on an energy-saving design, the overall M9 structure has been LEED Gold certified for its environmental sustainability (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) structure.
