The Press Room of the renowned Wanda Metropolitano, the stadium of the Atletico Madrid, has been arranged with F50 armchairs by LAMM characterised by their comfort, flexibility and a wide range of accessories, as well as the high level of design, which is perfect for the structure of the new stadium, a true jewel of technology

 

The new “Wanda Metropolitano” Stadium in Madrid was at first conceived as an arena for athletics; inaugurated on 6th September 1994, the old structure called Peineta, was built for the bid by Madrid to host the Olympic Games, which never took place.
First, it was a propriety of the Autonomous Community of Madrid, and then of the Madrid municipality, then the Atletico Madrid bought the stadium with a Chinese company, from which comes the new name.
The fundamental rebuilding, conceived by the architects Antonio Cruz and Antonio Ortiz, has transformed the 70.000-seat structure in a jewel of technology provided with monitors, big screens, a fan zone, a dining area and 100% LED lighting.

In 2018, the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium was awarded a prize for the best stadium at WFS Industry Awards; it will shortly host the 2019 Champions League final.
The brand-new big pressroom with cutting-edge technical equipment is also used as a multipurpose auditorium for events, courses, conferences, etc.

Thanks to the excellent design ability, the production organisation – which enables to meet the architects’ and customers’ demands with flexibility –, as well as the long-lasting experience in collectivity, conference and education seating systems, LAMM has been chosen to complete the pressroom arrangement with F50 armchairs. These products are characterised by comfort, flexibility and a wide range of accessories allowing customising every installation according to specific project needs.
F50 seat and backrest have a plywood inner structure and a fire-retardant, crushproof expanded polyurethane padding. This armchair has a gravity tip-up seat, with steel rotation pins and an inclined and shaped backrest that ensure a better comfort thanks to the curved internal structure.

In this case, the installation is on straight rows on steps, with a centre-to-centre distance of 54.5 cm; the floor fixing feet are in steel profile painted with scratchproof finish.
All armchairs are equipped with a large writing tablet in stratified HPL and a die-cast aluminium joint; power sockets are placed on the front part of the side, so they are easily accessible; seat and row numbering are available too.

In addition, the first flat three row armchairs and the further six row armchairs on steps have been supplied with a special system allowing the armchairs to be taken away (in groups of 3-4 armchairs) and moved on castors, thus changing the room configuration in a short time.

Three centres of the University of Genoa have been renewed with LAMM high-performance installations to adapt the activities to modern teaching techniques

 

Founded in the 13th century as an organised form of higher education in the fields of law, theology, medicine and arts, today the University of Genoa has more than 31 thousand enrolled students for 120 degree courses. It is divided in schools, namely, coordination structures, which regroup the departments according to disciplinary affinity and functional criteria. The University is located in different prestigious buildings, such as Palazzi dei Rolli, included in the World Heritage List of UNESCO and Palazzo Balbi, the seat of the Chancellor’s office since 1775.

 

The three buildings involved in the requalifying intervention are villa Cambiaso, a historic aristocratic residence, which hosts the Polytechnic School; S. Martino educational centre, located in the former Saiwa factory, dedicated to the Department of Earth, Environmental and Life Sciences; Fontane university centre, which accommodates the School of Humanities and Social Sciences.
The three centres have been equipped with high performance and resistance Q3000 and ST12 LAMM systems, which can meet all performance needs without complicated mechanisms.

Q3000 seat and table multi-purpose system (design Lucci e Orlandini) of two or three-seat elements, has characterised the company’s long history in the sector of seating systems for university lecture halls and shows the great attention given to construction details and the rationalisation of movements.
Over 1000 study benches (seats for the disabled included) have been supplied with tip-up top with anti-panic movement. Seats and backrests are in plywood with beech laminate finish, while the front panels of the first rows have been demanded in silver-painted micro-perforated printed sheet metal with matching accessories in order to give spaces a nice colour uniformity. The tip-up seat is provided with a shock absorption return. The study benches, with cable management under the table, have been installed (on flat floor and in straight rows) on special inter-row beams, which avoid making holes in the floor.

The supply has been completed with the installation of about 100 ST12 study benches (Orlandini design) for the language and computer labs at Fontane centre.
The innovative single structure system consists of a bench with fixed writing table and two mobile seats supported by pivoting press-moulded painted aluminium arms.
The ability of the seats to rotate 360 degrees transforms the system from a simple study desk to an “island” for study and work groups, offering the option of working at the same table while sitting in different rows.
The benches have been chosen with black laminate top, black painted structure and HL3 seats in bicolour thermoplastics (white/black). They have also been equipped with power sockets under the writing table. In this case as well the installation on special inter-row beams make it possible to avoid drilling the floor.
