At the renovated site—near Chécy—of insurance
company Thélem assurances, the need for flexible,
comfortable and elegant solutions was met by the
versatile and eco-friendly On Time and F50 armchairs.
The site, designed by Vincent Hérault Architects,
includes an auditorium whose capacity can be
increased (from 192 to 232 seats) thanks to a movable
wall. For this, 40 On Time faux leather armchairs,
designed by Baldanzi & Novelli and complete with an
exclusive system—without visible hinges—that allows
the seat and sides to be folded up onto the backrest,
were installed. When folded, the compact armchair
is reduced to 20 cm in thickness and is easy to store
away. For the tiered rows, the elegantly designed F50
armchair, which is padded, upholstered in faux leather
and complete with a writing tablet that can be stowed
away in the side, was chosen. Those by the aisles are
equipped with electrical sockets and some have an
external step light (by iGuzzini).
