A welcoming and vibrant setting promoting the
creation of a community of researchers, students and
companies: these were the driving forces behind the
fitting out of the two main halls of the “Dialogue Centre”
at the renowned Wageningen University & Research
(WUR) campus (Netherlands). Exclusive solutions —
bolstered by the numerous ways in which the Baldanzi
& Novelli-designed C100 model can be customised —
were adopted for both halls of the centre built to foster
dialogue between scientists, companies and experts
in nutrition, climate science, health and biodiversity.
The warm colours (two shades of beige, yellow and
warm grey) of the 272 faux leather-upholstered chairs
in the “Dialogue Hall” emphasise its cosy, comforting
setting. More than half of the armchairs are fitted with
a tip-up foldaway writing tablet. The “Promotion Hall”
has 108 Spradling Silvertex-upholstered C100 chairs
in five alternating shades (umber, wine, silver, taupe
and champagne), half of which are equipped with an
electrical system.
