The Latte Chair is a stylish seating solution that is sustainably made from hemp fibers. The chair was designed by furniture firm Very Good & Proper in collaboration with Parisian designers Amandine Chhor and Aissa Logerot of AC/AL. The Latte Chair is made with Trifilon–a biocomposite material that combines recycled plastic with hemp. This durable material works both indoors and outdoors and offers the chair some understated texture.
The Latte Chair has a slatted shell which is supported by a tubular steel frame. The chair has two variants, one with arms and one without, and comes in three earthy tones: Brick Red, Gray Brown, and Natural. The Latte Chair works well in home environments, patio setups, and office settings.
