Unica
The Unica armchair was chosen for M9, an interactive
museum in Mestre which tells the story of the 20th
century. Designed by Sauerbruch Hutton Architects,
M9 is part of a large regeneration project that
includes the Museum site, home to both a 16th
century convent and an office building in the past.
As well as exhibitions, the colourful main building
(LEED gold certified) is home to a 190-seat auditorium.
This major communication venue, built to host
meetings, conferences, shows and film screenings,
was furnished with Unica armchairs designed by
LAMM’s R&D department. This chair’s strengths
include its design, comfort and adaptability to various
settings. The version with a high backrest and visible
wooden side panels was chosen and installed in
straight rows on 51 cm-high tiers. The armchairs are
equipped with foldaway writing tablets with antipanic
motion, as well as easily accessible electrical
sockets and USB ports.
