Tonhalle | St. Gallen | Switzerland

from Girsberger

Product description

The seating in the auditorium of this music and theatre venue in St. Gallen was extremely worn and urgently in need of an overhaul. Girsberger renovated a total of 891 fold-down seats. The frames were sand-blasted and smoothed, then re-varnished, the seats and backs were reupholstered with high-quality flame-retardant foam and fabric covers, and the folding mechanisms were overhauled. As part of the refurbishment Girsberger added value in terms of acoustics by placing a layer of steel wool onto the back panels and seat panels and then covering this with finely perforated sheet metal before upholstering them so that sound is absorbed in a similar way whether or not there is an audience in the auditorium, thus leaving the acoustics unchanged. Around 420 seats were renovated during the 7-week summer recess and the rest in batches at regular intervals during the normal timetable.
