The juxtaposition of two slabs of shaped emery-leather, which contain the bearing steel frame and form a single whole that merges the backrest with the legs, is the distinguishing feature of the Lata chair designed by Mauro Lipparini. The structural stability of the entire shaped panel is ensured by the horizontal seat surface that secures and stabilizes the two side edges of the chair.

Lata is also available in a version with armrests (Miss Lata), or stool version (Lata too), like a wader standing on his four legs, characterized by the cozy hug of the backrest which embraces the soft frame. Both the chair and the stool are upholstered in emery-leather.
