The Meda Gate waiting area system was developed with the aim of combining a high degree of comfort with maximum ease of maintenance. Based on a cantilever construction with self-supporting seats, the design of Meda Gate fulfils both of these objectives. At the same time, the engineer and designer Alberto Meda infused the system with his trademark lightness and elegance. As a result, its technical sophistication is not revealed upon first glance. The materials and design of Meda Gate are exceptionally robust and durable, enabling the system to effortlessly withstand the rigorous demands of public waiting areas. Meda Gate is suitable for all types of waiting zones, such as in airports and train stations, in hospitals and shopping centres or in the waiting rooms of medical practices and similar facilities.
