PROJECT: Elbphilharmonie Brigitta Muntendorf + Decoder Ensemble

PLACE: Elbphilharmonie Hamburg

YEAR: 2025

COOPERATION: Elbphilharmonie Hamburg

On May 17 and 18, 2025, Xbrick was used for two extraordinary concert performances in the Small Hall of the Elbphilharmonie - with Brigitta Muntendorf and the Decoder Ensemble.

The setting called for a seating solution that could do more: attract attention, enable mobility - and remain completely quiet at the same time. Xbrick erfüllte diese Anforderungen als minimalistischer Hocker, der dem Publikum erlaubte, sich frei im Raum zu positionieren und den Blickwinkel zu wechseln. Ohne Störung, ohne Geräusch.

The clear design language of the Xbrick not only fitted functionally, but also visually into the reduced and at the same time highly concentrated stage setting. No leaning back, but actively participating - seating that supports attention instead of dampening it.

We would like to thank you for this successful use of Xbrick in the cultural sector - where space, sound and body enter into a special dialog.
