On Time armchairs were chosen to enable the
auditorium of the new ITAS Forum in Trento to be
rapidly reconfigured. Commissioned by the former
insurance company ITAS Mutua, the building
occupies 20,000 square metres with event halls,
offices and commercial areas. The main hall’s 250-seat
auditorium features On Time armchairs whose sides
and seat fold and overlap on the backrest thanks to
the unique motion system. This reduces the chair to
just 20 cm in size, making it ready to be stored after
use. Upholstered in burgundy faux leather and with
a black frame, these are equipped with a ground
attachment system with removable plates. This
fixing and alignment system is designed to ensure
maximum occupant safety in the event of a fire. In the
event of the hall being evacuated, each seat, which
is attached to those adjacent, remains stationary
thanks to the floor plates present. Accompanying
the armchairs supplied are three dollies to transport
them.
