The Teatre Romea in Barcelona, iconic for its history and architecture, has undergone multiple renovations, with the recent refurbishment of the auditorium seating being particularly notable.
To achieve this, an enhanced replica of the Gaudà chair, a classic style chair previously installed by Figueras in 2001, has been utilised. With the redesign, the seating capacity has been increased from 602 to 625.
These new seats, made with new materials, have been upholstered in recycled red velvet. They feature an ergonomic design and a quiet seat-folding mechanism, including a safety return system.
Additionally, accessibility has been improved by making 60 seats removable to accommodate various configurations and needs.
Figueras has also carried out a comprehensive renovation of the auditorium, involving the repair, levelling, and installation of new floor coverings, along with the red carpet of the central aisle. An innovative LED floor lighting system has also been implemented to enhance visibility and add a contemporary touch to the classic theatre setting.
