Officially inaugurated on May 6 in Milan, the Unipol Dome is positioned as one of the most relevant indoor arena projects in Europe.
Located in the Santa Giulia district, this new venue has been designed to host top‑level sports competitions, major concerts and international events, with a strong focus on spectator experience and operational efficiency.
As a manufacturer of seating for stadiums, arenas and sports and leisure venues, Daplast has taken part in this project through the supply and installation of arena seating, providing solutions adapted to the different areas of the venue.
Arena seating designed for intensive use and Premium areas
At the Unipol Dome, AVATAR and SITTEM SUITE seating models by Daplast have been installed — a combination that meets the functional and comfort requirements of a contemporary arena.
AVATAR – arena and stadium seating for intensive use
The AVATAR model has been designed for arena and stadium seating with high audience turnover, offering:
- Optimised ergonomics
- High durability
- Flexible configuration options
- Easy maintenance
This makes it a suitable solution for general seating tiers in large‑capacity venues.
SITTEM SUITE – seating for VIP and hospitality areas
SITTEM SUITE model provides a higher level of comfort in Premium and VIP areas, enhancing the spectator experience in hospitality spaces and high‑value zones.
The venue has an approximate capacity of 10,000 spectators, with more than 1,500 seats located in Premium and VIP areas, highlighting the importance of proper seating layout planning in the design of modern arenas.
Seating solutions aligned with international standards for sports venues
The selection of the seating systems responds to key criteria in projects of this scale:
- Long‑term durability
- Technical performance
- Operational reliability
- Spectator comfort
These factors are essential in venues designed for high‑demand sports and leisure events, where infrastructure must deliver reliable performance over many years.
The Unipol Dome reinforces a clear industry trend: the choice of arena and stadium seating solutions that not only meet technical requirements, but also actively contribute to positioning the venue as a host for major international events.
Daplast, an international reference manufacturer of arena and stadium seating
Participation in projects such as the Unipol Dome further consolidates Daplast’s position as a specialised manufacturer of seating for stadiums, arenas and sports and leisure venues, with solutions tailored to both general seating tiers and hospitality areas.
Seeing venues in which we have collaborated reach this level and become international benchmarks is always a source of pride and a strong incentive to continue developing solutions aligned with the ongoing evolution of the sector.
