366 C100 armchairs – Baldanzi & Novelli
With the C100 armchair, all-Italian design has arrived
in Dubai to furnish the futuristic auditorium of the
Museum of the Future, the torus-shaped museum
covered with 1024 curved steel panels, which bears
the words of the vice president and prime minister of
the UAE engraved on it. The engraved shapes act as a
window carved into the iconic architecture designed
by the Killa Design studio and engineered by Buro
Happold. Inside the small green hill at the bottom is
a futuristic auditorium reminiscent of an underwater
world or sci-fi movie setting. Here, the C100 armchairs
designed by Baldanzi & Novelli have genuine leather
upholstery, a low backrest and a coated silver frame.
The armchairs were installed in curved rows, on the
ground floor and tiers. The three sub-versions used
demonstrate the chair’s versatility: those in the front row
are double-sided and have a wheel system that allows
them to be removed; the chairs in the next two rows
have two floor-length sides; and from the fourth row
onwards, the chairs are bar-mounted with shared sides.
