During this event o25 had the pleasure to be invited in ‘Figueras International Seating’ company headquarters in Lliçà d’Amunt, a rural area situated about 35 km from Barcelona city center. The scope of this trip was to visit their offices and especially the company’s auditorium in order to catch up with the latest seating systems Figueras has developed.
So, o25 were invited to take part in a helicopter flight experience that took us over Barcelona to Figueras facilities, offering us a chance to enjoy Barcelona’s skyline en route. On site we enjoyed Mr Figueras’s exquisite hospitality. We also met himself as well as his family and his first class staff, in their ”Multipurpose Hall of the Future”, an auditorium equipped with fully automated seating systems of th latest design.
A wonderful experience by a unique corporation.
