Called LAT - Love.Approach.Together - the seats are connected together in twos or threes by criss-cross wooden elements on the back.

The inside legs of the chairs are also crossed and joined together.

Here's a bit more information from the designer:


LAT chair (Love Approach Together)

The concept of the LAT chair is about the loving embrace between two chairs, falling into each other as a reaction to a fragmented reality. A universal feeling that easily transmits to people, who are then free to interpret it in a personal key.

To stay connected with each other. But still there is a virtual distance: A personal distance. The LAT chair is designed to bring people closer to each other.

The LAT chair is also designed in a triple version, as single chairs, in soft versions with cushions (the cushions are optional in different colour options). These designs still have the same design language and translate the same (human) embracing/connected feeling.
