Luca Nichetto's La-Dina is a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional wooden chairs from the Dolomite mountain range in west Austria and north-east Italy.

Its name is a pun on Ladin – Ladina in Italian – the language spoken by the people who once built their settlements in the region.

Luca Nichetto has simplified the form, using rounded lines and including a small upside-down triangular hole that punctures the back rest.

The legs are fixed into the solid wood of the seat, which in turn is secured to the backrest using a clamping wedge.
