A total of 606 seats were supplied for three amphitheatre-style classrooms on the historic site of the University.

 

Originally, it was a fort built by King Louis XIV to control the city of Nîmes, a stronghold of regional Protestantism. It later became a place of detention for political prisoners during the years of the Revolution and the Terror and remained a prison until 1991. In 1995, the site was reborn as a university citadel through the project of Italian architect Andrea Bruno, which gave a new dynamic boost to the Gambetta district, now revitalized by the student presence. This project honors the past and historic structure, while remaining open to the city.

Today, the fort, originally built in the 1680s on the promontory overlooking the city, now houses the administrative headquarters of the University of Nîmes, along with numerous services dedicated to students, classrooms, and a large library.

The transformation continues, with the University now equipped with newly renovated classrooms, including two with 153 seats and one with 300 seats, known as the “Amphitheatre.” For these spaces, the E5000 – Orlandini Design study benches were selected. Featuring contemporary lines, compositional flexibility, and comfort, the integrated system of chairs and tables is upholstered in recyclable fabric (Oeko-Tex certified) made from 100% FR Trevira CS polyester. The upholstery comes in red, blue, and green, with each colour assigned to one of the three large rooms.

The study benches are designed to integrate electrical outlets and are equipped with folding, retractable writing surfaces. The front row panels, reaching the ground, are made of silver laminate, while the structures are coated with silver paint.

LAMM and Caruso Acoustic products shape the comfortable “corporate” auditorium in the advanced logistics centre of Desio (MB)

 

In Desio (MB), within the immense highly automated logistics hub of Sacchi SpA, the largest distributor in Northern Italy of products and solutions for electrical and technological systems, industrial automation, and energy transition, the sophisticated ‘corporate’ auditorium is born, fully furnished by LAMM and the Caruso Acoustic division with chairs, tables, coverings, and sound-absorbing panels.

The new 240-seat hall is integrated into one of the most advanced distribution centres in the electrical sector, a zero-emission complex spreading over more than 70,000 square metres of covered area, a tangible expression of the company’s relentless growth, with over 67 years of history, around 1,400 employees, 400 suppliers, and 84 sales outlets, which has become part of Sonepar, the world’s largest distributor of electrical materials.

The versatile L213 – R&D LAMM, arranged in straight rows on steps (centre-to-centre distance of 54 cm), are distributed in their lively colour (Inca green faux-leather upholstery), fully padded and made of material from well-managed, FSC® certified forests and other controlled sources (FSC® C134805). The armchairs have been chosen in the version with a straight side and a graphite-painted floor anchoring foot.
On stage, behind the custom-made speaker’s desk – panelled on three sides with a self-supporting structure and made of material from well-managed, FSC® certified forests and other controlled sources (FSC® C134805) – the folding OnTime – Baldanzi & Novelli armchairs with double swivel castors and orange faux leather upholstery are proudly displayed. The counter, also supplied by LAMM, has a Graphite 879 finish by Abet Laminati and is equipped with a worktop with two top accesses.

Mounted in adherence to the ceiling and covered in anthracite-coloured phono-transparent fabric, the panels, model Silente by Caruso Acoustic were installed in two different sizes (120×240 and 90×240). In addition, the provision involved 270 square metres of modular panelling with an English oak finish for the walls: reflective panels with 14 mm wide battens for the side walls and sound-absorbing panles with narrower battens (7 mm) for the rear wall.
The supply is completed by 8 Flip – R&D LAMM tables with a drop-down graphite top and a white painted structure for the small room adjacent to the auditorium.
