These days the numbers of the Covid emergency seem to be decreasing, but the attention and responsibility for those who have to organise events of any kind remains high. In such circumstances, the design of spaces takes on a special significance. If until some time ago the choice of furniture and its configuration was important but marginal today it is more than ever fundamental for the success of an event both in terms of experience and safety.
The seats that must accommodate the participants of conferences and training events must therefore be comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, but they must also be easy to move and sanitise. With respect to the first point, it is important that any furniture in a training room can be easily positioned and repositioned according to the number of people attending and the type of event. The chairs must therefore be light but at the same time robust to be long-lasting and adapt to any type of user. An example of this are the chairs of the Yugen collection, designed by Paolo Scagnellato and Jeremiah Ferrarese. The minimalist design and the play of full and empty spaces characterise this product with its contemporary aesthetics but timeless comfort.
With respect to sanitisation, seats without upholstery are preferable as they can be easily cleaned, but there are upholstery and padding that still allow for deep cleaning such as Trevira CS branded fabrics, man-made materials that stand out for their high brilliance and colour fastness. They are extraordinarily durable and retain their beauty even with heavy use. Trevira CS fabrics are easy to clean and dry quickly. Stains can be removed easily with conventional cleaning methods and common detergents.
It is not only the upholstery or the seating surface that must be easy to clean. The structure of a chair must also be designed and manufactured with as few joints as possible to prevent dust deposits. In this respect, the Lagom collection, designed by Edi and Paolo Ciani, is the perfect combination of comfort, design and functionality. Whether in the version without or with armrests, Lagom is characterised by a minimalist design defined by two simple lines: that of the seat and that of the base structure. The seat has a limited thickness and a width that is discreet yet comfortable.
