THE INSTITUT LE ROSEY: THE SCHOOL OF KINGS

Founded by Paul-Émile Carnal in 1880, Le Rosey is one of the oldest boarding schools in Switzerland and one of the world''s most prestigious educational institutions. During great part of the twentieth century, Le Rosey has been known as the "school of kings" since notable alumni, including the monarchs Juan Carlos I of Spain and Rainier III prince of Monaco, were trained here.

The Carnal Hall was designed by the firm Bernard Tschumi in cooperation with Fehlmann Architectes Tschumi to be used both as concert hall and,arts, and culture venue.

The building is mainly known by its modern dome of stainless steel – a modern structrure that contrasts with the classic campus of Le Rosey.

The seats selected for this job were specially designed following the particular requirements of the venue: Space Lux seats in the stalls combined with bespoke

box seats and long benches for the balconies.

Additionally, the main technical challenge was installing bench mounted chairs on a curve without duplicating arms. And all this while keeping the perfect alignment of the chairs and using noiseless slow return systems for the tipping seats. The result: customized Space Lux chairs mounted on continuos curved benches with innovative hinges for the tipping mechanism. Just spectacular!
