Poltrona Frau
Elbphilharmonie
Designed by Swiss architects Herzog &
de Meuron, the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg
was opened in January 2017, becoming the new
cultural hub of the city. Herzog & de Meuron,
who oversaw every single detail of the project,
also studied and developed the design of the
chair that furnishes the Grand Hall: the Ham is
an inviting, comfortable seat with a dynamic
profile. Its supporting structure is made from rigid
polyurethane and has an unusual shell shape.
Poltrona Frau Custom Interiors supplied and
installed 2100 Ham seats for the “Grand Hall”
which, designed to hold concerts, represents the
centrepiece of the project and is situated at a
height of 50 metres above ground level.
