Futura armchairs and telescopic tribunes ensure
maximum flexibility for the interior (which can be
quickly reconfigured) of a multifunctional theatre
in Kadıköy, a district in the metropolitan city of
Istanbul. The project, by Bingöl Barka Architecture &
Consultancy, stems from the desire to provide the
community with a contemporary cultural facility with
a flexible theatre hall that can adapt to all different
needs and get audiences, actors and the setting itself
to mingle in various ways.
An ambitious goal made possible by the systems
provided: 318 Futura armchairs and two telescopic
tribunes facing each other, one with 198 seats and
the other with 120 seats. The result: the room can be
reconfigured in just a few minutes thanks to a fully
automated system which tilts the armchairs (from a
horizontal to upright position) by means of gas shock
absorbers.
