The Puccini Theater is the only historic theatre in South Tyrol and an example of Art Nouveau architecture. It has undergone a meticulous restoration and renovation.
Aresline contributed to the project by handling the engineering, production, and installation of approximately 250 custom chairs, designed by Zanzotti Industrial Design.
The seats feature solid wood sides and a velvet-upholstered backrest that extends into the armrests with a sinuous shape, turning into a sculptural element. The seat is foldable and equipped with an anti-shock mechanism. It also includes a perforated solid wood underside to optimize the acoustic performance of unoccupied chairs. The seat numbers are laser-engraved directly onto the wood, further enhancing the ensemble's aesthetic value.
The stalls, distinguished by their "spoon-shaped" floor with double slopes, necessitated the fabrication of over 300 side panels in various dimensions to compensate for the uneven levels.
