Q3000
Multi-purpose system with writing tables and two or three-seat elements, arranged in straight rows, that has characterised the company's long history in the sector of seating systems for university lecture halls. Great attention has been given to construction details and the rationalisation of movements, which cover all the requirements without complicated mechanisms, and guaranteeing high levels of technical performance and strength.StructurePainted steel structure with floor fixing foot and oval tubular columns. Rectangular horizontal connection bar. Continuous backrest panel available in micro-perforated printed sheet metal, with insert in laminate, plywood, or padded and covered. Tip-up seat with automatic return available in laminate,... More
ST12-13
Single structure system for university lecture rooms and conference halls, consisting of a bench with fixed writing table and two mobile seats supported by pivoting press-moulded painted aluminium arms. It can be arranged in multiples of two, in straight or curved rows, positioned on flat floor and on steps.Freedom of movementThe ability of the seats to rotate by 360° transforms the system from a simple study desk to an "island" for study and work groups, offering the option of working at the same table while sitting in different rows. Seat support arm with automatic spring return rotation, excursion 64°. Swivel chairs with 360° rotation device and calibrated automatic return.Structure and topsCentral load-bearing structure in t...

Multimedia Study Bench
Born from the re-engineering of the E4000 and E5000 seating and table systems, modified to accommodate touchscreen monitors (ranging from 18.5” to 27”), the devices are housed in fixed work surfaces and incorporated into adaptable solutions that are easily inspectable and protected against tampering attempts. This innovative, patent-pending proposal is designed to meet the latest advancements in educational technology. The new digital desk inherits the practicality, comfort, durability, and longevity characteristics of the collections it evolves from. It can be configured in a straight line, curve, on stepped tiers, or on sloping floors.Compositional flexibilityAdaptable to all types of spaces, it simplifies installation and mai... More
E5000
It represents an evolution in the E4000 system, the main characteristics of which it inherits, implementing them with greater flexibility of construction and composition (seat with cushioned automatic return, beginning and end of row feet in line with the uprights), and an appreciable increase in seating comfort, thanks to the extra padding of seat and backrest, supplied as standard.StructureExtruded anodised aluminium load-bearing bars, with ribbing and channels to fix complementary elements (uprights, writing tables, feet), without the need for pre-set holes and with variable spacing of modules. Can be installed in a straight line, in a curve, on large steps or on inclined flooring.Seat and backrestTip-up seat with cushioned automatic ret... More

ENS Paris-Saclay
In January 2014, the ENS Cachan announced that it has selected RPBW from five other shortlisted firms to develop a 63,000 square meter building as part of its campus project at Paris Saclay. The building project is composed of 4 architectural units which border a park measuring over a hectare.

This “extraordinary” garden acts as the vibrant centre of the different surrounding buildings, which overlook the richness of the School and maintain the readability of space. The entirely transparent south facade gives a view into the daily life of the school, housing areas such as the cafeteria, a restaurant, a reception and conference centre and research laboratories. The northern building, which resem... More
E4000
Integrated, continuous seat and table system, the fruit of a study generally aimed at simplification and rationalisation. All the components are practical, hard-wearing and strong, to respond to the specific functional requirements of a classroom environment, integrating technological and multi-media features. It can be arranged in a straight line or curved composition, on large steps or on inclined flooring.Flexible compositionAdaptable to suit any type of space, installation and maintenance operations are easy. Extruded anodised aluminium load-bearing bars, with ribbing and channels to fix complementary elements (uprights, writing tables, feet) with variable modularity, without the need for predefined drilling.Seat and backrestTip-up seat...

Blade System
Innovative structure Study bench system characterized by a cutting-edge structural concept: it is composed by 1 cm thick extruded aluminium panels fitted together by means of joints.
Design The very reduced thickness of the components, together with the extreme precision and simplicity of the geometry, contribute to create the illusion of two-dimensional shapes.
Space optimisation The system offers the possibility of diminishing, up to 6 cm., the centre-to-centre distance among the rows in order to add another row every 15 in the same space or to obtain more comfort for the people’s passage.
Hidden technology Blade creates a study and work space where the technology, even if present, is never invasive, but c... More
