The auditorium of the Research and Innovation
Technology Park, a start-up incubator built on
the Sharjah university campus in the UAE, was
fitted with F50 armchairs. Commissioned by
AUS Enterprise, an organisation that connects
manufacturing and academic research at the
American University of Sharjah, the auditorium was
designed by Dubai-based studio, Roar. Inside, the
130 fully padded and faux leather-upholstered F50
armchairs with gravity-driven tip-up seat provide
maximum comfort.
The 119 seats on the ground floor share armrests,
while nine special armchairs in the front row, of
which the two outermost can be easily removed,
allowing access for disabled persons or persons
with reduced mobility, have two side panels and
a fixed seat. All of these have a tip-up foldaway
writing tablet with anti-panic motion, a HPL
laminate top and a die-cast aluminium joint.
