Telescopic grandstand Kazematten and Larf!

The new telescopic grandstand for the Kazematten and Larf! has been fully custom designed to suit the space and the users' requirements. The existing dimensions of the old grandstand were stretched to the maximum between the entrance doors on either side, with the additional requirement of keeping the playing area as large as possible. Within this limited footprint, the new grandstand can accommodate 129 spectators.

The grandstand is opened and closed manually. With a maximum of two people, the installation is ready for use or fully retracted within 15 minutes, making the entire hall area available again. The running gear locks automatically onto the wheeled carriages, while the platforms are secured manually.

In terms of finish, a high-quality recycled needle felt project carpet was chosen. After a service life of 20 to 25 years, this carpet can be reprocessed in the manufacturer's production cycle. The chairs are upholstered with Exit Fabrics' Basic FR project fabric: a durable furniture fabric made from 100% polyester, with a Martindale abrasion resistance of 150,000 cycles.
