The armchair designed for the Mohammed VI University project, envisioned by the architectural firm RBTA, is a perfect fusion of elegance and functionality. Featuring sleek lines and subtle curves, the chair achieves a visual lightness while providing exceptional ergonomic comfort. Crafted from durable aluminum and upholstered in full-grain leather, it presents a sophisticated and resilient design. Its automatic folding mechanism allows for space optimization, while the addition of features like retractable desks, electrification systems, and customizable numbering enhances its versatility. This compact and dynamic chair goes beyond mere functionality, serving as a sculptural piece that complements the architectural vision of RBTA.
The Centre de Congrès is a key piece within the campus as it is the space that can accommodate the largest number of spectators. With a total of 1.542 seats, the main hall of the conference center is one of the most treasured gems of the campus. The building is based on a transition of layers that envelop each of the perfect geometries. From the exterior Roman wall made of taza stone, to the concrete ring, to the boxes that form the commission rooms and enclose the cube where the main hall is located. The exterior Roman wall houses three volumes that accommodate the cafeteria, the art gallery, and a small amphitheater for 300 people. The use of color is based on monochrome spaces, using white for circulation areas, green for the rooms, and Alicante red for the bathrooms. It is a project that generates many filtered, covered, and uncovered spaces, some of which house small gardens that act as climatic refuges.
The seating system has been designed by RBTA and is present in the two main rooms of the Conference center.
THE GRAND SALLE
In the green monochrome interior, 1500 RBTA theater seats, facing the stage, dialogue with the curved Stucco walls, tufted carpet and the circular plafond, creating a spectacular space for performances and conferences.

A compact and dynamic design with an effective visual lightness. Made from aluminium and upholstered in full-grain leather, the armchair folds automatically, and allows for the adding of accessories such as a retractable desk, an electrification system or normal or backlit numbering.
The RBTA seating system goes beyond traditional auditorium and theatre seating.
