DSC Axis 9000 - Conference seating from Italy

Bad Münder, September 2006.

DSC Axis 9000 (Design: Haworth R&D Centre Italy) is the name of a complete range of conference seating for use in institutions, community centres, universities, classrooms, auditoriums, conference rooms, airports, congress centres and multimedia centres. The product combines a clear design with precise functionality and is available in a multitude of materials and colours, offering ergonomic design and comfort at a high level.

The sturdiness of the product, both with respect to the central components and the optional elements, is down to the high proportion of both cast and extruded aluminium used in their manufacture. The visible areas are polished, to emphasise both the high quality and simple design of the product.

The range includes chairs with fold-up seat elements, available either with regular armrests or with foldable writing surfaces (e.g. for laptops) and 'panic protection'. The system also offers writing surfaces, fixed or foldaway, and there is also an option for an electrical connection post, to enable the operation of IT equipment. Other interesting accessories include leg-space blinds, writing surfaces, row and place numbering, and sockets for attaching to fixed writing desks. The crossbeam is either straight or curved, and is positioned on the inside; this houses the power, audio and data cables. It was developed so as to permit the freestanding placement of chairs and accessories without the need for extra terminals. This allows a high degree of flexibility and simplicity of assembly. The chairs also retain a pleasing aesthetic. They can be folded up when not in use, to reduce storage space requirements as well as allowing the optimum use of space between rows.

The quality of the selected high-class materials and surfaces, together with the extremely attractive design, are the main feature of the product. The range also includes a wide selection of surface options and the option of selecting different colours for the seat surface and backrest sections.
