“The process of designing the seats for the auditorium hall was an interesting experience.” – says Krzysztof Ingarden – “We studied the anthropometric data, ergonomics and then moved on to the first stage of testing the solutions on prototypes. Then we spent time on final amendments and changes. All together, a number of years were spent to make the Kraków hall have its own, individually designed seats that fit it perfectly”.
