The Lateen Chair pays homage to lateen sails - triangular sails that, for centuries, gave Dhow boats in the Arabian Gulf the ability to sail with and against the wind. This invention transformed the art of sailing and profoundly marked the region's maritime identity, becoming a symbol of ingenuity, freedom, and discovery.
Inspired by these boats that crossed the Gulf carrying people, stories, and cultures, Lateen celebrates the moment when man learned to transform the force of nature into direction and conquest, paving the way for new routes and horizons.
Its refined silhouette pays tribute to the elegant shape of these sails, capturing in every line the fluid gesture of the wind and the perfect balance between strength and lightness. Each curve is designed with purpose, evoking the poetry of a timeless journey across open seas - where curiosity and courage meet.
Handcrafted by the master artisans of Alma de Luce, Lateen combines natural materials and contemporary design to achieve graceful simplicity. The absence of arms reinforces the feeling of lightness and freedom, making it ideal for spaces that value harmony, comfort, and aesthetic expression.
The Lateen Chair is a tribute to the maritime spirit of the Arabian Gulf and the human capacity to imagine, create, and move forward - a metaphor for the harmony between tradition and progress, craftsmanship and design, where every detail whispers of the wind, the sea, and the eternal quest for the possible.
