Organically inspired forms filled the interior of Mollino's Lattes commission. Drawing on designs utilized in earlier office projects like the Einaudi publishing house, the Lattes furniture went even further in its curvilinearity and originality. Mollino designed a suite of works that included chairs, tables, desks and lighting. The forms featured slender wood and molded wood frames that are weightless, and together created a dynamic, yet functional, interior.
