THE THEATRE COLLECTION

The Theatre Collection offers superb quality seating for theatres, auditoriums, conference and sports halls, as well as lecture rooms.

Stol has over 100 years of experience producing chairs for such venues and they are our partner for the entire Theatre Collection.

The theatre chair design is a collaborative process. At Afra Furniture, we understand that the success of a project, including each stage from design to installation, depends on effective and interactive communication between the manufacturer, client and ourselves.

In response to our clients’ needs, each chair is tailored to meet the requirements of designers and architects, and deliver superior acoustic performance. Meeting facility requirements, creating and producing tailored shapes, types and sizes are challenges we thrive on. As a result, we successfully meet and support the architectural vision and investor expectations of all of our projects.

THE RIALTO THEATRE

The Rialto Theatre is one of the most iconic buildings in Montréal.An essential element of the restoration’s mandate was to protect and preserve the unique architecture, graceful proportions and elegant details of the theatre. Afra Furniture was successful in fulfilling this mandate.

The following pages detail the detailed steps Afra took to successfully complete this beautiful project.

OUR MANDATEDesign, produce and install custom theatre chairs.

KEY FEATURES• Custom designed seating to fit the specific shape, size and style of the Rialto Theatre

• Durability

• Comfort

• Acoustic performance

Designing a theatre chair is a collaborative process. We use the universal language of design to create unique environments that reflect the distinct identity and culture desired by designers.

THE RIALTO THEATRE

DESIGN FRAMEWORK: Wood inspired features• Wooden back• Wooden backrest• Wooden armrests

1 INSPIRATIONWe proposed different chair models in line with the budget, setting and architectural vision to establish the creative vision of the mandate.

2 FUNCTIONAL DESIGNWe began with two custom-designed chair drawings which complimented both the building and floor plan.

Our chair design evolved toward a more ergonomic shape featuring a backrest suited to the tight space between each row.

Page 45: Afra Furniture 2014 Look Book

45

3 3D RENDERSWe proceeded to transform our initial drawings into 3D renders. Two chair-design concepts were presented to the Rialto.

4 LAYOUTWe used three different chair dimensions to create an initial layout optimised to seat 525 persons. All National Building Code requirements were taken into account. Chairs were positioned into cross-sections which left sufficient exit space between each row.

«The process was perfect from beginning to end. We were looking for something comfortable but with an old world feel. Their advice and counsel was inestimable. They keep us informed throughout the process and adjustments were made along the way. We are thoroughly happy with the result and equally happy with the way the whole process was handled. We highly recommend them!»Ezio Carosielli | Owner

THE RIALTO THEATRE

5 DESIGN DETAILSThe design details were inspired by a custom velvet provided by the Rialto owner. We proposed using both a custom stain finish with PU lacquer to embrace the elegant details of the Rialto’s unique architecture, as well as a highly-resistant fire-retardant German foam. Our proposal included varying foam densities for both the back and seat covers.

6 PROTOTYPEWithin one month of design, we produced the final prototype for approval.

7 CHAIR NUMBERINGWe designed the final layout by numbering chairs on one side of theatre using odd numbers, while numbering chairs on the other side using even numbers, thereby rendering the ushers’ work less confusing.

8 MANUFACTURINGIn collaboration with Stol Kamnik, we completed production within two months. Stol Kamnik brought its 100-year experience in the fabrication of theatre, auditorium and conference chairs to the project.

9 INSTALLATIONAll chairs were assembled and installed in the Rialto Theatre within 7 days.

10 RESULTA unique seating experience that met the requirements and expectations of all stakeholders.

THE HAMBAR HOTEL PROJECT

The Hambar Restaurant won first prize at the Retail Design Institute Awards for its interior design. Located on the ground floor of the Hotel St. Paul in Old Montréal, clients can sit either at the over-sized communal table in the middle of the restaurant, at the molded wood-slab bar, or on the raised platform along the windows overlooking Place d’Youville. The delicatessen counter is abuzz with frenetic activity as the on-site butcher tries to keep pace with the steady stream of orders.

THE BRASERO PROJECT

The Brasero Hardi restaurant, nestled in picturesque Old Montréal, offers a variety of grilled dishes in a trendy and eclectic decor inspired by hotspots in New York. We fabricated custom soft-seating chairs and barstools to evoke a New York Art-Deco style. A personalized stained finish gives the bentwood chairs and barstools a gorgeous antique look and feel.

The tiles and art works add a touch of Art Deco to this new and refreshing environment where people come to meet.

«There is no beauty without functionality: this is, for us at Archirivolto, the most innovative synthesis of design.»

Technology does not exist to create an image, but rather to serve the consumer. To deliver real quality, a good product designer must therefore deliver attraction, utility and comfort. Archirivolto has collaborated with Pedrali, Ligne Roset, Bonaldo, Desalto, Fasem and many others.

Ib Kofod Larsen’s (1921-2003) clean Danish design is obviously attractive, showcasing his stylish preference for high arms and sloping backs with organic use of materials.

He was also known as the colleague of the famous Hans J. Wegner and Borge Modensen. As they did, he evolvedfrom carpentry to architecte school.

Kofod Larsen was one of the most influential designers at England’s G-Plan furniture maker. Some of his designs influence the minimalist contemporary pieces being designed today.

Shown above: The Elizabeth sofa and chair, 1956.

Ib Kofod Larsen

The essence of all Werther Toffoloni designs have consistently realized the ideal fusion between the aesthetic and design, which maintain balance in not only in production processes, but also in between uses and the environments for which the products are intended for. This has been the single most dominant ideal of his work since the beginning of his design career. Toffoloni has clearly been influenced

by the theories of Bauhaus and the research of “gute forme”, which were strongly emphasized during his professional training.

Chair – Douglas collection.
