Parliament Mainz

State Parliament in Mainz, Germany

Since 1951, the historic Deutschhaus in the city of Mainz has been the seat of the Rhineland-Palatinate State Parliament. In the heart of Mainz and overlooking the Rhine, the building houses numerous spaces for parliamentary use, as well as areas devoted to culture, citizens and politics.

After around six years of renovation work carried out by the architectural firm a|sh from Ludwigshafen, the meeting rooms around the plenary hall were also given a complete facelift in 2021. The interior design now features high-end Thonet furniture, offering maximum comfort for a variety of different uses.

More than 200 S 168 PVF upholstered chairs are available to flexibly create a range of seating configurations in the various rooms. The chairs combine elegance and comfort with their chrome-plated legs and black textile covers and can be used together with 60 individually combinable tabletops from the A 1700 Evo series. The tabletops feature a white finish, media module, chrome-plated frame and a privacy screen mounted underneath and can be used to create different layout options.

For extra seating, there are also 40 additional S 160 chairs in slate grey. A removable writing panel that can be used to take notes and hold work materials has been added to the stackable chairs, which can be linked together securely without the need for any additional tools. For easy storage of the furniture, the Mainz State Parliament has numerous stacking and tabletop carts from Thonet at its disposal. This helps maintain an uncluttered appearance and adds to the versatility of the furniture. In one of the smaller conference rooms, leather-covered swivel chairs from Thonet’s S 847 D range – with a seat shell made of warm oak – are an inviting spot to sit in comfort. The chairs have been placed around a custom-made oak table with chrome-plated legs from the A 1700 Evo range.
