Genya armchairs combined with E5000 study benches
Genya armchairs and E5000 desks were chosen for
the Sala dei Duecento (Hall of the two-hundred) in the
Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, which today hosts the City
Council Assembly. Located inside the early 14th century
building, the hall has been restored, with its mullioned
windows and walls enhanced alongside the 16th century
tapestries. As well as 65 chairs and desks supplied for the
Council, 36 chairs were installed for members of the public.
The Genya armchair, designed by Dante Bonuccelli, is an
all-in-one solution, with synchronised opening of the
seat and armrests, and cushioned closure. Each seat has
its own E5000 desk equipped with: two closing panels
(one on the front and one inside), an electrical supply, a
voting pad and a microphone. These were installed on a
platform that was also provided by LAMM.
