ARCTURIS – ARCHITECTS
The fi nancial services fi rm Edward Jones
has installed the Mutamut system by
Figueras in the training room of its new
headquarters in St. Louis (Missouri, USA).
Since inaugurating the new space, the
company has signifi cantly increased
the number of events it organizes,
including both internal activities like
training courses, meetings and seminars,
and external events, such as product
presentations and conferences.
The installation comprises an auditorium,
outfi tted with nearly 600 Flex model
chairs and F45 and F1000 individual
tables and a training room where the
Mutamut system is installed, with 600
chairs equipped with F45 tables and
arranged in four blocks. With the
Mutamut system, developed by Figueras,

Director of ARCTURIS Architects
chairs move along fl oor rails and
“disappear” under the stage. Mutamut is
a simple, eff ective system that makes it
easy to change the distribution of seating
or convert a seating area into an open
space. The individual tables are attached
to the support rail for the system, except
in the fi rst row, where they are fi xed to
the fl oor using a special rail and quick
anchoring system.
The Mutamut system, a comprehensive
engineering solution developed by
Figueras Engineering & Consulting for
smart multiuse spaces, is the perfect
solution to optimize space and deliver
profi tability.
