DUALHUB SEATING – MODULAR ERGONOMIC SEATING SYSTEM FOR AMPHITHEATRES
Keywords:
ergonomic design, modular seating, interaction, amphitheatre, user experience, CAD design.Abstract
In recent years, the quality of interaction in amphitheatres and conference rooms has become an important concern. Traditional seating solutions often limit comfort and communication between users. This paper presents the design of a two-seat modular chair integrating ergonomic features. The proposed solution is based on an optimized configuration and a user-centred approach to improve posture, accessibility, and interaction. The main objective is to provide an innovative solution that enhances user engagement and improves the overall experience in collective environments.
