Materials
The main material used for this installation is a yellow wooden panel usually used in construction and in particular in construction sites (called panels for formwork or reinforcement). We applied adhesive vinyl text and icons to the panel. For the texts we used a type of adhesive panel, bi-color, which allowed us, through a laser engraving to obtain a good performance even in small texts thanks to the high contrast: TroLase L402-206 Black/White 1,6 mm. As far as dates and titles are concerned, we used a monochromatic adhesive panel: TroLase ADA Signage LS401-106 Black 1,6 mm. This material has been selected as it is compatible with the laser machine we use. At a structural level, a container has been added for the distribution of the magazine, with a protection in plexiglass.

Setting-up
Together with the information panel, the seats were arranged to limit, an area dedicated to activities that do not involve wi-fi. They have been placed on a green area not far from the other installation. The position of the seats has been reviewed several times, but without changing the initial concept.
